In the Middle of the Greens........


As the rains and winds keep coming I discovered this iris laying among all of the vegetation.  This particular variety does not withstand much weather other than dry sunshiny days. I have planted this kind in a lot of areas and the stems just give out and collapse. 







This old fashioned variety stands strong and firm, putting out these orchid like blooms.  I moved some of this iris to a new location last summer and this plant didn't hesitate to bloom right away this spring.
