What a beautiful morning it is here. I hope the sun is shining on you too this morning where ever you are. The flowers are so abundant here this spring that they beg to be harvested.
All the stalks on these iris are so loaded with blooms that they were falling over on to the sidewalk around the pool. John takes great pride in his
pristine concrete so this morning I cut them back before their beautiful indigo stained his pride and joy.
Now his sidewalk is free of wandering flora and my sofa table is graced with
armfuls of ruffled indigo iris.
One of these days I hope to get time to settle in and read the books that I picked up on the Island.

Flowers are Gorgeous!!! Those books look fabulous! Can't wait to hear about them. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful iris's you have. I do wish they had a longer blooming season because they're so pretty -- I think our season around here is over for this year so I certainly enjoyed seeing yours.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore iris'. Yours are out of this world beautiful! I thought for a minute they might be faux! :)
ReplyDeleteSo I'm not the only one who buys great books and let's them sit?
I just read on down about John. Thank the good Lord he got help in time. I know you are so thankful.

Your iris are beautiful! I'll be glad to take care of your lovely D. D. books until you get time to read them! So glad your husband is continuing to heal well. laurie
ReplyDeleteOh my Sue, those are just unbelievable blooms! They are my favorite color, too!
ReplyDeletePlease, please tell me what they are called and where you got them so I can start growing them. Wow! They are just gorgeous!
Chandy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like the iris. I had to look up the name for you. According to Martha Stewart in her 'Gardening' book from 1991 they are called 'Mascara' and are one of her favorites.
Hope this helps.
Hugs,
Sue
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYour floweres are very pretty. My hubby is particular about his property, too. So happy he is home and I hope he's doing well.
How beautiful Sue. Hope all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Rose
THOSE IRISES ARE AMAZING! THe one flower I do not have but I have been so intrigued by them this year. How long do they last once they are cut?
ReplyDeleteHope you get caught up on your reading. Does that really happen?
Gorgeous irises...the color is so intense. I can see why they might have stained John's concrete. So glad he's doing better and back home! Thanks for sharing these beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh Sue... I could not get on your blog (the error issue) until today, so I had no idea what was going on. I'm so sorry you and John had such a scare. I hope he's doing fine now and I'll pray he stays well.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))

The iris are stunning. My grandmother had them planted everywhere. I couldn't help but think of her when I saw your beautiful flowers. I don't recall seeing any in this elegant dark shade of indigo. They are amazing. I'm so glad you took a picture to share with us! Have a great pool party this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteThe iris are gorgeous...so vibrant....
