My irises are finally blooming so I thought I'd share some of the beauty. :D

They're even more purpley in person! You're welcome! I'm glad you like them. :D

majestic! :)

Beautiful!

Goodness, I wish my camera captured colors those accurately.

[shadowycat]

Actually, my camera tends to shade toward the blue. Both types of iris are really a bit more purple than they look here. I'm glad you like the pictures! :D

So pretty! The fuzzy stripe in the last one is so cool!

[shadowycat]

It sort of looks like a fuzzy caterpillar to me. ;D Thanks! I'm glad you like them.

Lovely!

(Meanwhile I wait. The iris buds are showing colorful tips.)

[shadowycat]

The buds did seem to take quite a long time to get ready, then they all opened in a rush. :D I hope yours will be open soon.

My irises just finished -- they came with the house and I had no idea what they would look like. They turned out to be a weird fleshy tan and wine. Definitely interesting, but I kind of wish they were pretty purple like yours!

I really love the purple ones. I also have some yellow ones, and I've seen some really lovely rose colored ones around the neighborhood, too. I think yours are very interesting. It's amazing how many different colors they come in. :D

I can't tell if this is just like some of my 'old-fashioned' German Bearded Iris but it's at the least similar. It's still a bit before mine are open.

Gorgeous!

Thank you. I'm glad you like them. :D
