  2. OK. You just introduced me to a flower that I'm not sure that I can live without now: Iris tectorum. WOW!

  3. If you are at all familiar with the wild crested iris, well, iris tectorum is similar, only much bigger. It is short, less than a foot tall, and the rhizomes grown in a circle, or "crown" pattern. Very florific. I'll take some pictures of the group and post them next time. I love this one! very hardy.

  4. Beautiful, wonderful pictures. I'm very glad I started my day by following hostageek and yourself. Where do you live? I'm sure it must be somewhere in your blog info, but I didn't find it easily. I'm on Vancouver Island in Western Canada and most of the plants you've taken pictures of won't be in bloom for another 3 weeks to a month from now. Thanks again for the good morning!
