Bold Stroke

Iris florentina

Iris pumilla, orange form

The Limousin is a good area for irises. Surprisingly, given the winter cold and wet, they catch up and burst forth in all their glory. The first you see everywhere are a rich purple colour, clearly an old variety, followed slightly later by the fragrant iris pallida and the siberians. Glorious!!!

You pay for your pleasure! But hot sunny days and being three weeks ahead of where we should be seems, at this minute in time fine. Water shortages loom, however.
