What Goes Around Comes Around — The Bearded Iris!

May 23rd, 2006

Sometimes I can’t believe what’s growing in our Garden.  I noticed these Bearded Iris’s outside, but suddenly, I had a vase full of them on my table when I came home from shopping.  Jeff thought we couldn’t see them good enough where they were planted, so he surprised me with fresh flowers for the table. 

These plants are just lovely Spring plants and would do better for Container Gardening, than for Square Foot Gardening.  I think they’re called Bearded Iris because they have seeds growing down the inside of the flower that kind of look like a beard, (I think it looks more like a hairy tongue, but that’s not a very nice name for a plant).  Hope I didn’t ruin it for you — they really are nice plants!
