I found this iris growing under some raspberry bushes while doing cleanup recently. Because it had grown in shade it had these amazing subtle pastel tones and large delicate petals. The opalescent effect was stunning. Many of the iris we grow have been bred and developed by local growers who pass the plants down through generations of gardeners.
The iris laevigata are blooming like crazy now, but most of the bearded iris have been done for more than a week so this was an exciting find.
