iris

Iris is my favourite flower. From the tiny iris reticulata that blooms when there is still snow on the ground, to Japanese, Dutch (that's the white one) and bearded, I love them all.
Their season of bloom is too short, but they force me to stop and enjoy the moment, for tomorrow they'll be gone.

Here's another benefit to letting a lawn be more than just grass. These tiny wild strawberries have an intense flavour that tastes nothing like their big cousins. And they're free for the picking on my front lawn.
