These iris would not be possible if Jain from @aquietlifeblog had not given the bulbs to me.
I am so thankful for our friendship and her generosity. The blooms are gorgeous. Thank you Jain.

The video below is from Instagram. I created a fun video with our special day. Jain hosted a lovely lunch for Tammie @crazy4iris and myself. We toured Jain's gardens and enjoyed a nice conversation over a fabulous lunch. Tammie and Jain have chatted online for a few years. When Tammie was in the area, Jain invited her over for a garden tour.

I really enjoyed seeing your irises and the short clip, Linda. Irises are my favorite flower, and sharing passalongs is a gardener's delight. The majority of my passalong irises are from a former housekeeper, and she called me yesterday, saying she thought of me when she looked out her window and saw her irises blooming. She is 76, and they came from her grandmother originally. I love how gardens can connect us.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Linda. Hugs Kris
ReplyDeleteYes, your irises are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing such loveliness!
ReplyDeleteIt feels like a friendship that needed all these yrs to find for both of you.I cant believe how I ris do so well there:) Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIrises are so beautiful -- and fleeting. Enjoy them while they bloom!
ReplyDeleteYour iris blooms are gorgeous! Ours are a long way out, probably another month at least! I've got some of your same iris bloomers, and the rich colors are just amazing to see! What a wonderful time to enjoy at Jain's garden, just glorious!
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful flowers Linda. How wonderful to have your blog friend gift the bulbs to you. I hope you have a nice week Linda.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Kansas, many considered iris a weed flower (they called them flags) and would cut them down. I always liked them and loved that they would just come back up since they are bulbs. I used to order from an iris farm and had huge pink iris ...also yellow, white and cinnamon color. I miss them. Can't grow them in Florida. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
ReplyDeleteLinda, the irises are stunning. I think it is fabulous how you and Jain have connected through the love of gardening. How I would love to visit you and Jain and take in the beauty of your gardens!
ReplyDeleteWow, they're beautiful. I love all the colors, we've only had them in purple. You are a lucky lady to have such a generous friend!
ReplyDeleteLinda, your blooming Irises are stunning! It would be hard to choose a favorite. Your garden must be a sight to behold........
ReplyDeleteIrises are a favorite of mine -- I think because they remind me of my aunt, Iris. And of course, the colors are so magnificent and they're so beautifully showy. These are fabulous, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThese are beyond gorgeous Linda! It makes me want to paint! It's so nice that you and Jain have so much fun together!
