Looking for Spring

Where I grew up the iris and oriental poppies are in their prime around Memorial Day at the end of May, just in time to go to the cemetery in bouquets, but there are a lot of them already planted at the cemetery so they can bloom any time they want.



My favorite iris color is yellow, but I like seeing all the variations and most of them have the most wonderful smell.





The oriental poppies look so nice with the blues and purples of the iris. We have a good-sized bed of them at our place in the mountains but because of the altitude and how hot the days are when they are ready to bloom they don't always give us a great show.
