This Bearded Iris a Springtime Bloom taken in morning light in my Illinois garden.
It's a magical time when bearded iris flowers unfurl their pencil-slim buds to reveal a kaleidoscope of color in spring. Once commonly called flags, these perennials flourish in USDA Zones 3-9, where winter temperatures dip below freezing and allow the plant to go dormant before next year's growth.
While fragrance has diminished through hybridization, the size of blooms has increased, as has the palette. "Every color—except fire-engine red—can be found in bearded iris,”.
