Up the hill from me

 

A good bit of exercise brought me up the hill (walking in the parking lot) to see these lovely flowers.







The sun came out, shining across this Iris !

    1. Oh I'm so glad you've finally got spring blossoms to enjoy. I always called the wild ones near ponds flags...but there probably aren't many of them left.

    1. Some elderly person who lived there in years gone by (or maybe more recently) planted all these beautiful iris.

    1. The pale blues are a pretty standard variety, but those deep browns are really beautiful!

  5. Iris flowers are so lovely, but the ones that I once planted were very short-lived. I didn’t really like the plant itself, so I planted something else the next year.

    1. They don't stay in bloom but for a day or two, and the best way they show is a few years after planting, when they've spread. That gets better each year. I wonder what you replaced them with.
