First iris reticulata in flower! We planted the bulbs last autumn and I’ve been checking for flowers daily for the past week. Two more had buds showing, which means the flowers should open tomorrow!

Eka kevätkurjenmiekka! Viime syksynä istutetut sipulit kukkii nyt ekaa kertaa. Hamstrasin meidän Lidlin kukkasipulilaatikoista syksyllä joka ikisen pikkuiirispussin joten näitä on aika monta tuloillaan

Iris reticulata in my garden today

I wait all year for the dwarf iris to appear and they're gone far too quickly

Seems a little quiet Mastodon but I'll still be here Iris reticulata growing in between foliage of other spring bulbs #Irisreticulata #spring #springflowers #gardeningmastodon

The dwarf iris in the window box will be open in a day or two, but I find them most thrilling when they're like this, slim pencils of potential. Here with hardy pansies that have endured the winter.

I love early bulbs like #IrisReticulata - they fairly scream “Winter, your end is coming!”

Day 19 of my Flower Advent Calendar is also this week's Cheering Up Mondays flower.

I grew this rather lovely dwarf iris for the first time this year.

I love these iris particularly in pots where you can place them high up and enjoy the flowers close-up.

Today I have for you the joyous iris reticulata with the stems of cornus alba Sibirica. I took this picture on the 26th of February last year. My big goal with developing the new, "winter" part of the garden is to get this kind of colour early in February, January if I can manage it.
