Yellow Iris in bloom
Yellow Iris is usually a summertime bloomer, but we have one clump that has been blooming for almost two weeks already. Not really sure why, but these yellow iris is just really enthusiastic this year. It’s been especially hot and wet, so possibly everything will bloom early for us this season?
We have clumps of iris scattered in and around our ponds, but this particular plant is growing in our shallow artificial stream. The stream is only a few inches deep, and freezes solid every winter. This iris must be tough as nails, because it returns bigger and better every spring. This plant — along with a healthy clump of lizard tail and cattail — doesn’t seem to mind when it’s roots freeze solid.
None of our other iris plants have begun to bloom yet, so we could be looking at an especially long flower season for iris this year. Nice!
