Here you are, up close and personal with a purple bearded iris.
This is just one of many irises we we’re given by my parents. They had quite a few that they divided last year and didn’t have places for them all. They are definitely dressing up the landscape!
There is something about irises that says they should be given to people. I received most if not all of mine this way. They are nice plants. What is this cultivar name? Do you know? I have it too and no idea! boo hoo.
