A glimpse into my Iris garden out at the farm in Langley, B.C.  I didn’t coordinate colours with the neighbours cows, but it looks like it !  I have always loved iris , in art and in the garden. They are such survivors ! The happiest ones are always at some forgotten old church, or right against the cement curb along a driveway. Because they require good  drainage, mine are on raised ‘hills’ alongside my pathway.  The colours are incredible – lots of unusual combos . I love the fragrance , too . Some smell like lemon cookies, some like grapefruit…. some like construction worker .  I am experimenting with hybridizing (trying) and if it works, I may give them the space now devoted to daylilies. I’m sure I’ll change my mind in July, when it is the daylilies turn to seduce me….
