a few years back I started collecting heirloom irises, always liked them as a kid my grandparents had a bunch,
long story short I have their property now, and in my spare time I been working these old iris beds, some haven't bloomed in decades. last was a great start. this year was looking even better til we had 2 nights of 28 that froze everything.
so for the next few weeks I will keep posting some pics as they open.
the first to bloom were these purple ones, they been on the property since the 50s.
they bloom heavy and I have separated them alot over the last 3 years. one of the strongest scent ones. next to bloom was 2 tone redish , this was part of set of heirloom bulbs I purchased.
