Siberian #iris 'Honey Chic' in shades of yellow and gold. At just a bit over two feet tall it is a nice smaller variety for the garden. 🌱

Pesky photo issue has been solved. Let's try this again. New month new theme. Let's see some Siberian #irises. This is 'Bluebird Kisses'. So blue! Siberians are having an evolution in color the past several years. Loads of new things coming out in fresh new colors and patterns. 🌱

Very confused but no matter what photo I try and post it just shows up as a black space. Anyone have any ideas?

Center right Dem party leaders are doing their best to kneecap progressives was always. They hit Platner, & are coming for Katie Porter in CA. The only viable answer to late-stage capitalist collapse is progressivism, just as in the 30s. Without it MAGA wins.

You’re Being Lied to About Graham Platner
We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.

A wild collected natural hybrid, 'Violacea Grandiflora' is just as pretty in the garden as any modern variety. Fantastic fragrance too! I love the lavender tones that lean toward a slate blue.

'Romeo' is a bright and fanciful French variety from 1912 and makes a lovely garden planting. Like a burst of butterflies in the border.

🌱 'Queen Of May' (pre-1859) was long a favorite pink with iris lovers. It was not surpassed until the early 1900s and still makes a great show today.
