Look at what I found today...

18 years ago

As soon as I found it I just had to bring it inside. As I was cutting this iris I smelled the lilac, then I smelled some catmint, then I thought..I've got to have some dark purple.......it just ballooned from there!!

Anyone know what the iris is? I didn't even know I had it. Not sure where it came from and how it got beside my house!

Isn't it crazy?

Oh my.......that Clematis just fell in there!!

WOW what a lucky find and such pretty flowers really looks like spring to me. Enjoy!

Sorry I can't help you ID the iris to me it's just pretty.

It looks maybe like a louisiana iris? Hard to tell, if you saw what the roots looked like it would be easier to seach it. It is really pretty, don't you love surprises?

Oh my...that arrangement is as good or better than any Martha has ever done, and is good enough to grace the cover of a magazine. I love the addition of the hosta leaves too. What is the tall (long) blue flower?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! The iris does have a Louisiana iris form, I think. I'm new to this whole iris thing. This summer is the first I'm really appreciating them.

The long blue/purple flower is catmint. Grows like mad pretty much all summer. Love the stuff. Multiplies like crazy. It's cousin is catnip. Catmint is prettier.
