Those are beautiful! I love traditional bearded irises. They grow so well here. Thank you for sharing at the HomeAcre Hop! Look forward to having you back again tomorrow; http://blackfoxhomestead.com/the-homeacre-hop/
Love the color combination! I’ve got some of my great-grandmother’s daylilies at our summer cottage in Maine, although I will say that after more than 100 years, they’re not very faithful bloomers…
I look forward to the Iris blooms each year, especially the purple ones. Mine came from my Grandmother’s Garden and I always feel like she’s stopping by to say hello when they bloom. for what it’s worth
Thanks Gracie – it’s often so windy here in NE Texas during the time the Iris blooms that it’s hard to get a good shot. Glad I was able to snap one on a calm(ish) day! đŸ™‚ ~TxH~
My grandmother was an amazing veggie gardener but she enjoyed throwing flowers in there even though they weren’t utilitarian. I loved that about her. ~TxH~
I LOVE heirloom irises. I posted on my collection last year. I have some similar, if not the same as this one. How precious! Check out these two posts and give me your opinion!

Amanda, your iris blooms are beautiful indeed. Love the heirloom varieties, and I know I have some of grandma’s bulbs that are lilac colored as well as two-toned. So special. ~TxH~
I have many Irises that bloomed in my yard this year but none like this one. It is a real beauty, indeed! I love the two-toned Irises, especially these lavender ones đŸ™‚
I have peonies from my great grandfather. Thanks for sharing at Eco-Kids Tuesday. Hope you stop by again today! /2013/06/eco-kids-tuesday_11.html
