I planted some blue Iris bulbs over five years ago. This single yellow one came up unexpectedly. I still only have the one...must look for some more. ?

Isn't it lovely? Do you know if you can grow irises in containers? I love them, but I haven't any sunny gaps in the borders.

Hi Hb I've never tried to grow Irises, but I'm thinking of giving it a try after seeing some of the pictures yourself and others have posted, That is a truly stunning plant.

Thanks for that, Hb. I shall try some. I've got some dwarf iris in the garden. When I planted them, they got plenty of sun, but the surrounding plants have grown and they haven't flowered for a couple of years now.

Irises are one of the best plants you can grow.
