Thanks, Veronica.
I have one bearded iris that starts blooming in October, and stops in March. Most of the other bearded irises are spring bloomers.
Traditionally, the earliest iris to bloom are the Dutch irises. They do come back regularly in my zone, and can take some thinning every 4 years or so.
In the yard,
and in a vase. I enjoy matching up flowers with fun vases.
And just to show that I do sometimes mix up flower types in my arrangements
Dutch irises with white calla lily and white azalea.
In retrospect, I should have added more azaleas to the bottom. But, one of the reasons I started this thread is to get ideas from all of you out there.
