One of the most interesting things I have learned from
gardening and photographing flowers
is that every year differences in the weather conspire to
create unique results.
This year our extremely warm first quarter made the bearded
irises very happy.
What distinguishes bearded irises from the unbearded
varieties
is that fuzzy little
caterpillar in the middle.
These flashy beauties are always crowd pleasers and most of
the ones in these photos are from my roof garden.
We divided the bulbs last fall
and spread them out into some of the less populated boxes
and were repaid with a particularly noteworthy display,
with a little help from Mother Nature of course!
