Iris Success

Last November I showed you some iris rhizomes I had been given through Freecycle.  I wondered at the time how they would go, because they were transplanted on a very hot day.

The good news is that they all survived, and the first flower is about to open.

This shot was taken after work, when there wasn't much light around, but the colour appears to be a very pretty dusky purple.  I don't know if they will all be this colour, or a mix.  The anticipation is fun!
