For years I have driven by the entrance to a business and admired the greenery in the flower bed. It is variegated and stands tall and thick. Very eye catching.
I wanted some in my yard. So much so I stopped to ask about what it was called. Another time I phoned hoping to find someone with more knowledge. I have taken pictures of it numerous times. I even sent a picture to a friend who used a website to identify it.
That turned out to be in correct. It wasn’t until I saw them blooming I figured the family. It was a type of iris. I felt stupid that it was so simple while excited I had a good lead. After searching a website selling irises I found the plant. They were expensive but I bought some bulbs anyway. I’m looking forward to the beauty in my yard that I have been admiring all these years. The last picture is of mine coming up. I’m super excited to see them peek through the ground.
