First Iris

iris reticulata


I like these flowers even more then the crocus. They just appear, with barely any leaves. They weren't up yesterday at all, but today I had open flowers. I can't wait for the others to show themselves. They are one of the easier bulbs to plant, since they are slim and small I remember just pushing them into the dirt and covering them over. They bloom for a few days then disappear until next year. I don't think these were labeled a specific variety, just iris reticulata.
