Mariposa Skies iris – Petals and Wings

Spending time in the last couple of months on family affairs exhausted me both physically and mentally and didn’t leave much time left for anything else. I retreated to Instagram @petalsandwingsimages as my outlet since I didn’t have to spend time correcting images on PhotoShop. Now, as the dust settled, I’m back.

With plenty of rain in early spring, the garden has grown pretty fast and the flowers have responded well, especially the irises. I don’t water irises regularly like the other plants so with plenty of rain they bloom in abundance.

‘Before the Storm’ aside from a beautiful, rich color, they’re also fragrant

‘Florentine Silk’ It looks pretty much like its namesake

‘Mariposa Skies’, has a slight fragrance and re-blooms

‘Mother Earth’, She smells nice and will be back in October

‘Phoebe’s Frolic’, aside from a beautiful color, it’s also fragrant and still blooming

‘Vigilante’, has an interesting combination of maroon and gold. Also fragrant

‘War Chief’, has a maroon, red color with a gold beard

All these irises either re-bloom or are fragrant or both. With good weather, I should see most of their flowers again in October.
