Siberian Iris

my uncle george’s siberian iris!

wow, it was such a surprise to go outside in my garden and see this wonderful flower!  every night,  i’ve been covering  the plant so the local deer can’t  eat it for a midnight snack.  well, it finally bloomed and i couldn’t be more happy.  it is a part of the plant that my uncle george game to my mom, who gave me a start.  i was just thinking how it wouldn’t survive our cold winter, but it some how did and actually produced a blossom.  i found that i have another bud on the plant so i guess i’ll have to continue to cover it.  our pesky deer just love munching on all out buds.  i just transferred some hydrangea bushes to the back, thinking that now the deer won’t bother them.  oh well, if anyone has a solution to how to get rid of the deer please share.  have a great weekend.  i hope to make some beignets that someone shared with me.  thanks for visiting!
