Irises are cool....

Post by daylilies »

I went to a iris garden over the summer and found some really pretty ones. I have decided that buying big box for unique flowers are really not an option. Take a look at these and tell me what you think?

I never know what the name of the flower I'm looking at is but it doesn't change how pretty it is.

The pictures always look better than what ends up in my planter pots though. :p

They are truly beautiful. I have never had success growing them though.

Good morning! I'm new to the site (just joined yesterday) and when I logged in this morning, those gorgeous flowers were the first thing I saw ... thank you for the visual! They're very beautiful.

I can't seem to kill irises. They multiply here. I use plenty of water and on a timer. I have found I forget to water and things end up dead.

Tiger lilies along my back fence have multiplied for several years without any help from me. They were out front but I moved them after nothing happened for a couple of years and someone told me they needed sun...lol

duh.
