“Japanese” Iris
I don’t know her name, only that she was labeled a “Japanese Iris”. The identification tag for this lovely beauty disappeared under the heavy load of a six foot pile of snow many winters ago.
Every year, I wait for her to show off her petticoats. She’s stingy, only giving me the pleasure of 1-3 flowers. I suppose that this is the best she can give in this harsh climate, so unlike her own.

Anyone know her name?

I have a particular fondness for iris, there’s just something so upright and clean about their beauty, I love the structure of their buds and the way the petals unfold. She’s lovely.
Don’t know her name but do you feed her well? Give her liberal handfuls of bonemeal or bulb boost and she will reward you by multiplying! Then you will have more flowers. The iris I have planted with my roses really take off and I think it is the rose food that is doing it!
She is a beauty! Simple, yet sublime!
