Sweet smelling good looking Iris

385 Views 13 Votes 27 Comments

My beautiful White Bearded Irises are blooming now. It is such a treat to see these brilliantly showy and fragrant blooms each spring. I have had these for several years and they never disappoint. Sometimes I forget they are still there until they burst into bloom out of nowhere it seems. I am partial to the white bearded Irises but there are many more varieties and colors to enjoy. They are some of the easiest flowers to grow and need very little attention once established. My purple Iris is also a show stopper. How well do you know your Irises?
