June Iris

Although most iris only bloom for a few fleeting weeks in the spring, there is a way to prolong their beauty in the garden. Most breeders will indicate whether a certain hybrid is either an early, mid or late season bloomers, or a rebloomer. There is a new group of iris blooming now (like this 'Dusty Challanger') and they are as stunning the early bloomers were!

Hi Sheila. We met on Blotanical.

Carnations have always been my favourite flower, but this could easily slip into the number one spot in my book.
