Purple Glory

Irises are so stately, with an exquisite fragrance to match.

 

My grandmother loved irises. I remember how she used to have a couple of long garden rows dedicated just to irises, of all kinds and colors.

When they bloom I think of her.

 

 

I need to find some new homes for all or most of these.

I inherited them from the previous owners of the house (not that I'm complaining!)

They used to be all there was planted in the bed, pretty much.

I'm trying for a bit more diversity--and honestly, a little bit different color scheme back here.

I think they would look great up in front of our wall, though. Maybe even scattered in several sections along the front and side. (It's a long wall!)

 

So this fall, the plan is to start some serious transplanting.

Here's hoping they take to their new homes just as well as they have to this one.
