Happy Saturday amazing peeps π
Hope your weekend is going well and that you and your love ones haven't fallen victim to the evil corona virus!
So much is going on all over the world and right here on steem to, easy to give in to all fear and negativity.
But I choose to focus on the things that makes me smile and feel the good vibes, like beautiful flowers from the garden π
And today I have choosen to share my favorite pictures of Iris flowers, they are a favorite and I think most of us have them in our homes.
Purple ish Iris!
Such bright and beautiful purple, and I love the shape of these flowers alot.
A closer look and the patterns are amazing, and it almost look like a tounge π lol
With many different types and colors available, there is an iris for nearly every garden.
Named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, irises bring color to the garden in spring and summer.
The vast majority are hybrids with the most popular being bearded irises.
Other popular varieties include Siberian and Japanese irises, Louisiana irises which are native to North America, and Dutch hybrids.
Height/Spread:
Irises come in many different sizes, some as short as six inches and others can grow up to four feet.
- Dwarf varieties 6 to 12 inches tall and wide
- Dutch varieties 1-1/2 to 2 feet tall and 6 to 12 inches wide
- Tall bearded varieties range from 2 to 4 feet tall and 1-1/2 to 2 feet wide
Exposure:
Irises need full sun at least half the day.
Some varieties will tolerate part shade such as Siberian irises and Pacific Coast natives (Iris innominata, Iris tenax, Iris macrosiphon and Iris douglasiana).
Many irises will grow in total shade, but they most likely won't flower.
Bloom Time:
The majority of irises will bloom in spring or summer.
Dwarf varieties tend to bloom earlier in spring, with intermediate sizes blooming later spring, and taller bearded varieties blooming late spring and summer.
Reblooming varieties will produce flowers once in summer and again in fall.
Color:
There is an extremely wide variety of colors, ranging from white to almost black; although most common in shades of lavender, purple, white and yellow.
