Introduced in 1893, historic iris ‘Crimson King’ re-blooms now in one of the garden beds—A great thing to see in October—

Evening sun doing it's magic again yesterday. First flowers on Iris 'Susan Bliss' bought last year. Really vigorous for an older variety.

#Iris season is just over here, but here is the lovely "Gold of Ophir", #HistoricIris from 1955. This was the first year it bloomed in my #garden. As you can see, it appreciates some shade in Arizona!

Not tired of #irises yet! I'll take them as long as they'll go on blooming. Our recent cool down has extended spring a little longer, it seems.

A single iris bloom with primrose yellow standards and butter yellow falls, facing directly at the viewer.  The background is blurred, a mix of yellow, green, and tan.

Portrait of an #iris ,still the gorgeous yellow-frothed Sespe (TB Walker 1949). Yellows in the background come from brittlebrush (Encelia farinosa) which has bloomed very enthusiastically this spring.

If I could only have one #iris in the #garden, I think Sespe would be that one. Its tall, sculptural foliage lights up with these floating, airy blooms.

And here is Iris Helios (Cayeux, 1928) showing its luminous, buttery blooms.

Two lightly ruffled irises in soft yellows bloom along a long stem.

More from the #Garden... This is #Iris "Sespe" in bloom.
I can only wish this very rare iris was better known and more widely grown. It certainly is a good doer here in Arizona.

Black and white photograph of a long iris bloom set against a soft white background.  To the left of the flower, the photo divides into a dark section, which emphasizes the reversal of dark flower on light background.

Iris in the abstract
This was shot in #monochrome setting in my old Nikon D3200, straight out of camera. Arilbred iris Sheriffa, w its rainbow of purples, is still a beauty even w/o color.

Am I late for #GardensHour? The main iris blooming season has just begun here in desert Arizona. This is Conquistador, historic tall bearded iris from 1921. Still gorgeous and a good grower!
