Iris Colours

I posted a photo about my favourite iris recently. Tania talked about iris colours in the comments. So I thought I would show some of the iris colours I have had. Of course these are my current ones. Originally I had the blue or purple and white, plain purple, and that's it I think, maybe yellow.

In my first house what we had together, when I moved in, my husband had just previously made a front garden bed with soil from a dam I think. He put an edge around and put in the iris and some citrus. In the end for whatever reason it didn't grow things very well. That is why we appreciate the soil etc. of our new house. One clump of iris is so big now after one year of being there. I wanted hubby to take a photo of the clump, but he likes more specimen photos. Maybe he thinks that is what I want, we always speak to each other in such a rush.

So, these are not the best photos of our new house but give you an idea of iris colours. I would love to hear about yours if you have any.

Please excuse the plumbing at our house, we have to wait for the town sewerage and then perhaps have the plumber back. We got him to do lots, but not the storm water as yet.

I loved how the irises in the box were shades of purple/red because I wanted that colour to match the yellow and green of our house at the time. Sort like the colour wheel thing. Our new house is more yellow orange, so I can have blue again, if I follow that pattern I was doing last time.
