During my childhood, my father grew irises in a small garden in our side yard.
They were pale lavender and their fragrance was delicate and beautiful.
Hubs brought home a stem with irises that are deep purple.
Their blooms are almost frilly----quite exquisite.
I just love looking at them. They are in a vase on the kitchen table.
Aren't they just sumptuous?

I too love the deep purple but the lighter shade of purple is pretty also. My old house had some growing in the yard and I always loved when they would bloom!

That is Barbies favorite flower..did you know that Susan? I love Iris and have some growing in my front yard too where I live..Mine are blue but I like purple the best.
WOW, these are just stunning. I love the color. I always forget to grow these. Have a wonderful weekend.
Gorgeous! The purple got me like a good first line in a book. :)
Susan, I saw your purple iris on my side bar, and had to come over and take a look. It's so pretty, and I think you know how much I love Purple. So nice of your husband to bring you home some irises.
Have a peaceful Sunday, my dear.

I LOVE the deep purple - isn't that exquisite?
I really like irises. I do not know this variety. Yours :)
They grew wild along the back fence in a house we lived in when the kids were small. We called them flags.
