Yellow and Purple Irises

by Self Sagacity at 1:11 AM
From Wandering Thought to Self Sagacity

It was a rainy day last July before I departed from Michigan, when IcyBC / Wandering Thought and I were out in her back yard digging up Iris bulbs for me to take home to California. Don't ask me why it was raining in July, it did.

I would have been disappointed if the Irises didn't come up, but they did. These flowers are much more meaningful to me since I received the bulbs from IcyBC. They came with a story, they came with love. However, since I didn't label what colors the bulbs were to know what I was putting down when I did. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Purple and Yellow Irises growing next to each other. Even though only two came up this year, there will be plenty more to admire given the way they are thriving now.







Thanks for stopping by today.

    The two colors really compliment each other. I love that cheerful yellow.

    Love always helps the flowers grow.

    Hello from Oklahoma! I have purple irises, too, and I love them. I love your yellow ones, so I might just go get some for my own iris garden.
