Flowers and spring

I don't get too excited about flowers. Don't get me wrong, I like them even tho they make me sneeze a lot; make my eyes swell and cause drainage that clogs up my ears. That being said, I plant my fair share of annuals and perennials - mostly perennials. So this year I reaped the benefit of a transplant. We were doing some work in the back yard and I didn't want to sacrifice my Siberian Iris that I planted a year or two after we moved in, so I divided the large plant and hoped for the best. I'm not really good at following directions in the gardening area - mostly hit or miss- and let the good Lord do His magic. After dividing, I stuck them in the ground in several spots. They bloomed the next year but not really well. But this year - they are absolutely gorgeous. People are stopping and walking up the driveway to see them up close. Their color is so intense and I know my photos don't do them justice but here's my feeble attempt.

So now, I'm going to go back to the couch, knit and look out the window at my beautiful flowers - while they last.
