At long last the cold wintry weather seems to be disappearing and the days are longer and warmer

The Iris are responding and are showing growth.

The short bearded Iris are showing buds and hopefully we will be seeing flowers soon

We have several new short bearded Iris this year and I can’t wait to see new flowers

I’m also trialing  some new varieties for future years and am very excited

Iris lazica and unguicularis are still  flowering in my garden and Iris bucharica has emerged this week
