Cemetery Iris....


We have had 84 degree temperatures and lots of wind. You can look closely and this little fellow is pretty beat up. I looked these up on the net and I found that they also call them cemetery iris. I have called them that as I collect them from cemeteries. I have three other colors that I will show as they bloom. They are old original plants brought over from Europe and the Asian areas. They are small, not large like a hybrid but they are tough. I lost hybrids all around this plant because of too much rain, and this guy just keeps plugging along. I have creeping charlie in every picture I take and it is time to buy the Twenty Mule Team Borax and start spraying. Thanks for reading........
