If you’re not interested in gardening neepery, you might have to avert your eyes the next week or so, as I’ll be sharing more flower photos as the buds begin to pop.

Here’s the second iris to show its face in the garden, somewhat similar to the one I posted yesterday, but tending toward purple rather than brown. I’m hoping for two more varieties to burst tomorrow, one yellow, the other white, with the salmon-colored ones coming over the weekend.

We’ll probably be visiting Exline Iris Garden Sunday to check out their display—because it’s never too early to start thinking about the 2011 garden!
