These seem to be all the iris from my daughter that will bloom this year. I think they are so pretty.
I believe the yellow ones are more native or true to species iris, and the bigger, frillier ones are hybrid or results of some selective breeding.
I also have another color from Mary Ann. I will put it in another post.
It is a fun and colorful year for iris blooms.

Thanks, it is fun to have them all coming out. I also really like that they are shared from her and from other friends.

Do you live near any public gardens or does the place you stay have flowers? I always think of Florida as having lots of growing things.

@GardenGerty there is no garden where I live and I have no idea where there might be a public garden. I will have to look into that,

I need to send her a picture. She moved last summer, but I got these before she totally moved.

@GardenGerty Irises are so beautiful. You definitely should send a photo to your daughter.

I have some yellow ones out front but can't really see them from inside the house. I do miss my purple Siberian irises, though. I had brought some with me when i moved but they were vandalized by squirrels and now are no more.

Mom had some, but I have never had the Siberian iris.

I have seen small dark purple ones as well. My younger sister always called them "species iris" and they were some of the first to bloom.

It is fun to have neighbors who plant things.
