Iris reticulata 'Purple Gem'

Amazing. The ones I have in pots in the greenhouse are only just beginning to peep up above the soil! Lovely colour this one!

Arn't they pretty, put a pic on of ours yesterday.

What a lovely colour Spritz, they look lovely and strong.

beautiful, your garden looks very neat and tidy ~ no dead leaves ~ can i take mine away now?

Haha, Sticki - this is one teeny bed out of many - I'm not showing you the ones I haven't cleared yet!

Yes, they're tough little flowers! I just love'em. ;-)

Another lovely Iris, Spritz. :-)) I've added it to my favs as well!

I agree. Since they bloomed, I feel much more positive. :-)
Thanks, Balcony!

I've got the first Crocuses of the year now opening on my balcony! I took a couple of photos but they came out blurry so I deleted them. Will try another day.

Yayy! Isn't it a thrill when the first spring flowers appear! :-0))

It makes you feel that spring is very close when you see the first flowers opening in February! You also see more & more each day. When I pass the gardens where I saw the first Snowdrop or the first Crocus I notice that more have opened since I last passed - the main show of any of these small spring bulbs is yet to come! :-))
