SPEC:CULT: I. tectorum in Bloom

From: HIPSource@aol.com

Greetings,

The white iris tectorums are blooming here in the little back border in front 
of the brick wall. I'm happy to see them this year since I had to lift them 
last fall--not the best time--to fork up that border, which was fostering 
fungi. Anyway, they are in full bloom now along with their companions, a blue 
hosta, the white bleeding hearts, and a fragrant amber and pink Gloire de 
Dijon rose on the wall. The golden hues of the latter pick up the yellow 
touches in the throat of the irises and it is attractive. There are a couple 
of ferns there, too, and a pumonaria or two, which are looking especially 
fine this year.
