Bumble Bee........

In the commercial trade this is being sold as Bumble Bee.  It is a very old strain of iris that grows wild in the Murray, Iowa cemetery.  They mow it back around this time so the area doesn't look overtaken by it. I am having a poor showing of it this year in my yard so I will take shots everyday to assure visuals of those few that I do have.  It is one of my favorites that I remember my Aunt Lois had at her house. She lived at the end of a dirt road in a very old house that had the old peonies and iris blooms.  During Memorial Days she was always bringing them to the cemeteries in glass jars.
