I’m still so pleased that something I dug from Octagon, Alabama has managed to take root and thrive here in Birmingham. At last count, there were about 12 blooming yellow irises and about 25 blooming purple irises. At least a dozen yellow ones have already faded away. Don’t really know how long these will last, but I’ve really enjoyed them this year. Here’s a shot of them from above, taken off our deck (and we’ve been enjoying the deck so much this year–eating lunch on it most days over the last two weeks).
