Thanks! These took off after I removed some ferns that were shading them out.

These flowers are so very beautiful, and they contrast wonderfully with the foliage. Wow.
Bright vivid colors and excellent details!

I saw local purple ones blooming yesterday. Mine are light pink, and they're only about 15" tall, no buds yet.

That iris reminds me of the Northern Blue Flag Iris that could be seen scattered through woodlands, adjacent to my family's house in
Upstate New York. Such an iconic flower.

These are probably the same species you saw growing wild in the woods. They're native plants and are known by many names. I call these blue flags. Beautiful by any name.
