Iris unguicularis...

These photos are from my trip to Plant Delights Nursery Open House on March 5th. When I went through the greenhouses - where the plants were for sale - I didn't even look at the irises. I literally turned my back on them as I went by because I knew there was no way I could just buy one and I already had my list of plants. And it was growing longer by the minute.

These irises were growing in the Botanical Gardens. Of course they caught my eye. For one thing, they were blooming. In winter. Second, they were irises, which are SO beautiful. I have to admit, I have a thing for irises.

And... do you see hints of blue in them? There you have it. Do you think I would NOT see something that had blue in it? I think next time I go to Plant Delights, I will just have to bring home at least one of these stunning irises. What do you think?

Have a beautiful day!
