Iris sibirica

gorgeous plant, lovely photo!

I like the photo too.

Thanks - I was balancing at 45 degrees on the stream bank to take the photo, so it's a surprise it came out well.

great picture love the colour :))))

There are more in flower today, but I'm not going out in this 'orrible weather to take photos!

None of ours are out, wish they would hurry up, we open soon..

I'm hoping mine will last, at least until next Thursday!

It looks as if the weather will hold for you, we open on the Sunday, so good luck to us both !!

How's your 'to-do' list coming on? Mine seems to get new jobs added every day...

I wish my roses and Geranium x magnificum would get a move on! Only one flower in the Geranium bed, and three roses on the house.

The 'trick' that exhibitors use to force flowers to open, is to blast them with hot air from a hairdryer for 30 minutes. Just refuse all invitations this week spritz - tell them you're washing your hair!

Lol Andrew Spritz would need to get the commercial blowers back to do her wall trained roses. Either that or a cherry picker so she could reach up far enough.

I'd love to try it on my Geranium bed - only two flowers open - it's usually a mass of colour. :-(

My 'delightful' neighbours would probably send for the men in white coats if I tried it! LOL.

Its probably all waiting to put on a show for your open days.

Nope. Today's the day and there are now 6 flowers in the whole bed. One Cistus flower - unless some more have decided to open since last night.

We should have been down but OH is not too well (temporarily) but hope it all goes well.

Yes thanks - it was a lovely afternoon. I hope OH recovers soon!
