We’ve been fortunate to have some beautiful iris blooming in our yard this Spring. Iris are quite easy to care for, and when they have marvelous blossoms they are doubly delightful. The iris above is Orange Harvest. It’s easy to see how this iris got its name.
Floor Show iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. May 7, 2014.
Floor Show is a very interesting bicolor iris. We have it in a couple of different places in our yard.
Hell’s Fire iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. May 7, 2014.
Sometimes the blossom is much prettier than the name. Hell’s Fire is not exactly a name I would pick, but I do like the color.
Electric Shock iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. May 8, 2014.
We also have Electric Shock is a couple of places in the yard. It has a very showy blossom that stands out very well.
