Happy Spring everyone!

Woke up to snow covering the streets and lawns. Got home at 3:00 and was welcomed by the first iris blooms.

There are still signs of winter about. And is around 30º. But the sun is out nice and bright.

Ice on the moss covered rocks in the water garden.

Same to you...what a gorgeous iris!

That is next on my list of garden colors, I'm going to be doing a blue and yellow theme in the new garden I started last year.

That IS a beautiful Iris - do you know which one it is? Most of ours are pretty, but other than the few deep purple ones, they're kind of a washed out blue - not as rich as yours!

Hope everyone enjoyed their first day of Spring, I know I did! Took the day "off" and got a little raking and pruning done and I have the sore muscles to prove it this morning. Now I have the chore of getting rid of all those piles of debris :(

Thank you.
The name is Harmony, got them from Brent & Becky's in 2007, They really look good in mass, I scattered mine, wish I didn't, maybe they will fill in more for me. Maybe I'll add a yellow iris to that spot too.

Some of the photos in plant files are a bit washed out on the color but it is really that blue.

Chris - yes, I'm the odd ball but i LOVE that shot of ice on moss!!!

Thanks Chris - I'm planning on adding a yellow Iris as well, so Harmony will join my "list"!
