It had to be something from this year’s RHS Chelsea for our cheerful flower.
I was delighted to see Claire Austin at the show with some of her National Collection of bearded iris. This one was particularly beautiful.

Oh, that is a pretty one. I like bearded irises but they do need room.
Yes, they are rather space greedy and fleeting but so beautiful.
