First bloom with the promise of many more 💛💛💛

Gorgeous colour! 💛💛💛 I think it's a water iris, no?

Just remembered, I'm thinking of a yellow flag iris. 👍 So similar! 😄

I spy the first #flower !! 💛💛💛

Now then! So you remember my post way back mid summer 2016?! Is collected some Iris seeds from my garden and sown. The pic on the right was when they first showed their faces early Autumn, the pic on the left is as they are today. Obviously Iris have to form a #rhizome which is why they take so long to grow. Only 2 seeds made it. I'm hoping they go "full term"! 😂😂😃😃👏👏

👍👏😊

Exciting! 🤗 - I think Dutch Iris are bulbs rather than rhizomes though. May take 2-3 years before reaching flowering size.

So! 3 lovely ladies growing nicely from my collected seeds so far! Waiting for more to rear their heads! 😊😊👏

And here is his big sister!! 😂😂😂😂

Whoop! Second baby rearing his little head!! 😂😂😊😊👏

Well my patience is paying off! My seeds that I collected from my #beardedlady nearly 4 months ago, are finally germinating! 😃😃😃

💛💛💛👌🙌

Great Hayley. 😊

Yay! 👍🏼👏🏼

Hope more show their faces!! 😊😊 @rachelbrooks @Keely @susanhumphrey333
