I have been rewarded thrice this year by my Iris. First, the flowers in the regular garden bloomed, then the Iris in my water garden. Now the Iris in the bog garden are blooming.
One thing that amazes me about that plant, besides the beauty of them, is the fact they have two ways of propagating. Below ground the plants have rhizomes which grow larger each year and the larger it gets, the more flowers that grow above ground. The Iris also have a bulb that appears just below where a flower bloomed. The first time I saw one I thought the plant was diseased but that growth is a seed pod.
