June is here. That season of irises. How I love them, especially the purple ones. If I had a yard with more sun and less ledge, I would have massive beds of Irises so that our yard would be abloom with them in June. But, I have what I have, and I thank the flower gods that I have at least enough sun and ledge-free soil to have four big bunches of Irises.

Here is one Iris from tight bud to bloom, a span of four days or so.

 

 

 

Ah, Irises! Food for the soul, indeed.
