Yellow Iris

In late October and November the irises in the Moosey garden delight with their huge flowers. Strangely there are few photographs of these beautiful plants - until now that is...

A Mixed Bag of Irises

Several years ago I did the decent thing and bought from a mail order catalogue a 'selection' of mixed irises. In they went around the garden, to become quickly forgotten. Early last summer, however, they were impossible to ignore any longer.

The yellow iris pictured in this photograph found its way to the Stables Garden, and has the ridiculously yellow Euphorbia Polychroma for good company. It has started flowering really well in this hot dry border.

I enjoy the strong yellow colour, coming as it does not long after the yellow daffodils have flowered.
