In my 'other life' things are happening

As part of a small partnership I grow Miniature Tall Bearded Iris. We are in the process of applying for, and in fact were provisionally accepted to hold the National Collection of them.

This is the time of year when they all burst into bloom for about a month, making all the slog of weeding, feeding and tending worth it!

Out of 34 varieties 16 are showing their blousey blooms with the remaining 18 either about to burst forth or putting up flower stems.

The full set can be seen on our blog beardedandblousey.blogspot.com but I couldn't resist this taster
