iris

I have been waiting for this bearded iris to flower for about 15 years! I moved it soon after we moved in and it has sulked ever since! so exciting to see buds on it this year.

Aren't they so graceful! Good focus to see the lines in the petals!

Wonderful colours and textures. Iris are one of my favourite flowers.

15 years?! they surely taking their time. I hope that the flowers last. Beautiful purple colors.
