Sat., May 14, 2016 - Irises - of all the perennial flowers of the spring, irises are one of my favorites. I found this one in the planting area that Lyndi McNulty helps oversee at the parking lot near Harry's Main Street Grille. Irises are one of a number of perennials that I grew when I farmed for a living. It remains one of my favorites in spite of the fact that irises can be a pain to grow in large numbers in a container operation. The flowers are spectacular.
