Dwarf irises (Iris reticulata) fluttering in the sunshine
Attractive to one and all
Looking wonderful as they naturalize in the meadow grass
A sparkling display of irises back-lit by sun in the orchards at Wimpole, Cambridgeshire

Quote of the day:
“What wondrous life is this I lead!
Ripe apples drop about my head;
The luscious clusters of the vine
Upon my mouth do crush their wine;
The nectarine and curious peach
Into my hands themselves do reach;
Stumbling on melons, as I pass,
Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
~ Andrew Marvell

They certainly do. 🙂

Gorgeous. They’re flowering in my garden too.
I was slow to plant my freebies. They are showing in pots, but will going in any day. Enjoy your show!
That’s the way to plant them, one variety en masse. Lovely.
I completely agree.
So pretty, those pops of purple.
Yes, great colour and great effect.
Beautiful! Makes me want to plant hundreds in our lawn!
Me too. Do you think that they would survive deer though?
They are deer resistant and drought tolerant. Hurrah!
Excellent!
