Iris à flavescens

---

My PBS friends may have noticed my post earlier today about Iris Ã
flavescens blooming like never before in my garden. Well I was
mistaken. I said there must be 50 blooms. When I counted tonight I
lost track at 75. But it's about 90 blooms total. Here's a few pics.
(A pity PBS forum doesn't allow attachments.)

They're growing in one of my prairies, thus all the grass and other
"weeds". I can't believe how happy they are in there. The prairie is
too big to get all of them in one photo... so here are two of the clumps
(out of 5 total).

I "wild collected" these alongside a country road where a farm house
must have once stood. For years I'd see them bloom in early May... "in
the middle of nowhere" so one summer day I finally stopped and dug a few
up. That was about 8 years ago. They've been delightful ever since!
