Honey Glaze Iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 22, 2011.
This is my post for the My World meme. It is hosted by Klaus, Ivar, Sandy, Wren, and Fishing Guy. To learn more about our world or to join and share your part of the world, click HERE.
We were down to one lonely tulip in the front yard, but then the iris started blooming and we are once again enjoying beautiful blossoms. The first iris to bloom was Honey Glazed, which is shown above.
Blatant Iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 22, 2011.
It would be hard for me to pick a favorite, but this one — Blatant — would certainly be in the running.
Clarence Iris, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 23, 2011.
Another iris that is blooming is Clarence.
All three of these are re-blooming iris, so if Mother Nature cooperates we’ll have another show in October.

Like you, George, it is hard for me to choose a favorite. I do love the deep, royal purple of Blatant though.

I thought irises were only blue. Dummy me. They are both lovely.

I LOVE the purple and yellow!! I will have to get my landscaping pics up so you can see….although it doesn’t even begin to compare with your yard but nevertheless, flowers are beautiful no matter what!!

The honey glazed is just the color of honey!! I agree with you, blatent is my favorite, though the blue one is a close second!!

How beautiful! We’re just seeing daffodils these days. I’m not sure what is IN my garden. Being new here. I wait with baited breath.

Dear George,
Please be my gardener.

I love iris. We planted a few of them two years ago. We got blooms last year. Then the gopher attack happened. Glad to see this year that one plant has survived the attack and has gifted us with a lovely purple bloom.
Happy belated Easter sunday.

Nice to see something other than the rain we are having here! Our first thunderstorm of the season!
I have to agree with you that it is hard to choose one iris as being better than all the others! I have not seen any of these three before!
