My mystery #iris opened this morning. Not the blue and white I was hoping for but she's a keeper in my eyes. #beardediris #zone5 #zone5b #petitelakeburnsfence

I have iris patches with healthy leaves but no blooms. Past years they bloomed but not this year. Too much shade, to cramped and need to feed them. #zone5 #zone5b #iris

Three new blooms in the #petitelakeshedgarden today. These are also to the left of the flagpole that need to be relocated to the shed garden. #zone5 #zone5b and found some in the tree garden that need to be moved too.

Thanks for the tags @brightcolours I never really thought any of my flowers were "best of' so your tag made me smile.
