IDA RED is one the first to bloom in our garden. This
magnificent iris was hybridized in Fort Worth. Look at the buds yet
to open.
|
In Greek mythology, IRIS was the goddess of the rainbow.
There is no true red iris.
|
In Texas irises need at least half a day of sunlight.
|
Historic irises (over 30 years old) put on a great show in
2008.
|
The garden at peak bloom in mid-April 2008.
|
This part of the garden gets the most sunshine.
|
Cold weather, plenty of precipitation in February, and even
an occasional Texas snow contribute to excellent bloom.
