Blooming of Iris in the Small Garden - Gardening and Hobby 78

We have several favorite flowers, and the Iris is one of them.  Its blooming period is usually from late March to April each year.

As far as I know, our state has five native Iris flowers. Iris hexagona is our favorite. It is because:

- easy to grow 

- low maintenance

- simple but attractive in colors, ranging from blue to violet.

We planted Iris hexagona many years ago, and it has blooming almost every year.

If we are lucky, we may observe these blue or violet flowers growing as wildflowers in the nature.

We believe that Louisiana native Iris often grows wild in the ditches and other areas around here.
