First #siberian-iris to bloom this season 17 May 2024

These beauties all popped out at once after a couple days with temps in the 90's. #siberian-iris #iris 24 May 2022

Another big patch of #siberian-iris that I mistook for some kind of decorative grass until this happened. 28 May 2020

Finally learned what these are 22 May 2020 #iris #purple

That’s most likely a Siberian iris. Reticulata iris are very small and grow from a bulb. They are the first of iris to bloom at the end of winter. If you tag me in a close up I might be able to identify your iris.

Thanks @janetandjim -- I had no idea so just guessed.

No problem. We learn from others. i am an American Iris Society, Master judge. My husband and I have a large collection of Siberians. The flower might be another beardless iris, that’s why I asked if you had the chance to post a photo. From what I see it appears to be Siberian

I know I. Have mentioned in the prior post but I want someone who might read the comments on this one-this is not a reticulata iris
