Irises in bloom everywhere in my neighborhood made me think of these famous paintings by Van Gogh and Monet. During my childhood, we had a large bed of standard purple iris along one edge of our yard, and I loved seeing the blossoms every year.

Iris was the name of a beloved aunt and they are one of my favorite blooms. They look terrific!
I love iris of all colors. They are so unique! Great photos of them.
We have a pretty big bed of irises in our back yard. Purple ones -- my favorite. They've finished blooming, but they were magnificent this year.
They are so beautiful! Blue one is my favourte.
They are such a beautiful flower. I wonder why my SIL and daughter haven’t planted any..I will have to ask.
You photographed some incredible irises. NONE of mine bloomed this year. I was heart broken. Are these all yours? They are certainly stunning.
My iris photos are from all around my neighborhood, but not in my own yard. In fact, much as I love them, I've never succeeded in planting irises!... mae
Beautiful flower photos and I like how you shared those famous paintings. Irises are a favorite of mine and maybe you too?
I love the smudged pink ones. Thanks for sharing your neighbourhood with us.
Ours in the park have alreaady faded... Guess it´s maybe just too cold and dry.
We planted several varieties of iris a few years ago. Some are early bloomers and others bloom late, so we enjoy them for quite a while.
Irises are incredibly beautiful. I miss the more vibrant flower varietes from Pennsylvania and Michigan. When I went to purchase a forsythia bush the nursery warned me it wouldn't blossom as well here.
