I've got heads!

For weeks I've been having major envy of a woman I've never met, but who has a garden with lots of irises already blooming. She lives a few blocks from me, and I pass her garden every morning on my way to work. But when we got home from crown last weekend I finally saw a stem with a soon-to-be flower on it. I went out and counted last night and I have 13 iris heads waiting to bloom. I'm so happy. I was worried, between the late planting and the transplant trauma I wouldn't get any irises this year. So far, they look like they will all be purple.
In other garden news, I think I'm going to move all the Easter lilies aver to the little plot near the fence. I really want them away from the food plants. I think I'll plant something colorful around them, maybe snap dragons

I love irises. I have a memorial service to attend on Saturday. I think I'm gonna bug out afterward and go down to Hakone Gardens or something to restore my wa.

That brings back memories

When I was growing up there was a massive half circle of irises against the back fence. The purple ones always started blooming a few days before the white or the yellow. At one point they were all blooming at the same time.
