rainbow irises

Irises were named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris, because of the many colours of their blooms.  My bearded Iris are blooming right now, and they are in a rainbow of colours.  Bearded Iris grow from roots that run lengthwise just under the ground.  They like a full-sun location.







Coming up a few weeks later come the Dutch Iris.  These grow from bulbs I planted last fall.
