It is a good year for irises.
I've done nothing to deserve this profusion of petals, and my wife has done very little for these rowdy rhizomes either. Yet, here it is April and here they come. Especially plentiful this time around it seems to me.
I even had the audacity to go out and cut some and put them in a vase for inside house; a dominant bouquet on our dining room table and another nice gathering of purple and white blooms that I placed on my wife's side of the master bath counter top. For a day or two the house had that distinct, sweet licorice scent when one opened the door. I figured I'd set up a few of our irises on the internet for those inclined for such viewing pleasure.
