As I've mentioned before: irises are my favorite flower. While I may spend a lot of time wandering around photographing other people's flowers, flowering trees, trees, the sky, tree bark, etc. — irises are my favorite flower and I have a menagerie.
Yes, somewhere in my past there has been a great deal of money spent via the Schreiner's catalog. So, they're like my children. And every year when they appear I finally remember to weed them, and then I take a ridiculous amount of pictures. So, this is Part 1 of at least 4 parts...

The first picture is a Merlot, the second picture - I have completely forgotten the name, and the last 2 are Gypsy Romance. Gypsy Romance — I completely fell in love with these when I saw them in the catalog. I had to have them. I assembled an entire order just so that I could justify buying them...

I guess it's beyond about time to start working on the graphics for the 2012 calendar; there's always something with irises...

So have you seen a purple iris that smells like grape soda?In our family cemetery a couple of ladies rescued a ton of tubers and planted them all around the almost vacant town square.
These are all absolutely gorgeous Sarah!!
