Spring is almost here, and although the irises in my yard haven’t bloomed so far, I rummaged around in my files of photos I took last year and found this one to work from. I admit to being an iris fancier as well as a mum grower, and I like to collect different varieties. Descanso gardens has an annual spring plant sale and that’s often a good place to get irises which have been divided out of their huge iris garden.
That’s beautiful – I love the colours! I’m another iris fan, though I never had much success growing them, and I wouldn’t dare attempt to draw one!
This is absolutely beautiful. I love bearded iris, especially the blues and purples. I’m waiting for mine to bloom. I marvel at what you are able to do with watercolor!
Hi, I really enjoyed the art on your blog.
