The yellow Louisiana iris.
Baptisia from seed.
Where some of the yellow Louisiana iris live. One gifted piece has already become many. I even found it coming back up at its first home where it was moved from. They are just starting to bloom.
Lorelei, the prolific.
Behold. the Black Iris.
The Black Iris was rescued from smothering by the Lush about two years ago. Last year everything got froze. This year spring is making amends.

Lorelei and friend.
In the new iris patch there are many other colors of the tall bearded kind.
Tiny rescued pieces have become happy Black Iris once more.

Love,love, love those iris. My Lorelei are still blooming. Only iris blooming to be truthful.
I do have about a dozen & a half of figs [just planted it this spring]& about the same apples. Hope they hold on till they ripen.

Lola that Lorelei is without a doubt the most reliable and prolific iris on this mountain. We got a heavy apple set this year.
That soil must be magic on the mountain. Nothing I plant multiples the way your stuff does.
Your iris are so happy on the mountain! Button seems to be over looking the Kingdom :-)
The Lorelei you sent home with me from the Fling has yet to bloom. Seeing yours makes me want to give it a talkin' to. Your garden perfects itself even more with each season.
