The irises are blooming!

Spring has officially arrived at my house where the irises are blooming!
I've been watching the buds grow wondering which day the flowers would bloom. Would they wait until Friday - my birthday! - or a few days earlier? I walked out the front door Tuesday and gasped as I do each and every year at the beauty of nature's gift.
The whites are in a small bed near the front door. The purples are in a bed that rings the crape myrtle tree.
Irises are a beautiful birthday week gift each year!

First iris of the season!

I had a wonderful surprise when I opened the front door this morning. The first iris blossomed! The purple and white ones are ready to pop any day now.
Last year, none of the purple/white ones blossomed. But this year there are quite a few buds.
This makes me happy!
