In which Kirsten fires another salvo in the Iris wars

Isn’t this gorgeous?

Earthborn iris

This one is called “Earthborn.” I planted a few of them to set off the yellow of “Harvest of Memories” and “Second Act.” It’s working pretty well although to really get the effect I want I’ll have to move things around a bit.

Iris grouping: Harvest of Memoris Iris, Earthborn Iris, Second Act iris

It’s funny how with perennials it can take several years to get things the way you want them — because you put something in, and then see how it looks throughout an entire growing season, then move it and see how that looks . . . it’s like painting in super slo-mo . . .
