The garden is doing well, with many bearded iris varieties coming on. The purple blue one pictured first is a favorite of mine. I've always wanted a true blue bearded iris, and this is the closest I've come. I'm quite excited about the pure white iris. It is the first time it has bloomed and I had to think for a while to recall where it came from. I did remember that when I moved the deep purple irises from Mom's garden (on the middle right), she had a white one, as well. I wasn't sure I had even gotten one since it was August and they were not in bloom, but it appears I did. I love it. Also blooming now is the little cream colored iris and the old fashioned purple.
