My City Garden: Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

This is an iris in my mother's home (photo by my father):

It was given to her by a friend, and I'm hoping to get one when it makes little babies (apparently when a flower blooms, it becomes a new offshoot of the original plant). I know nothing about this iris but think it's absolutely amazing!

It's such a beautiful, an unusual, iris! It almost reminds me of an orchid. I wish I could garden; alas, my talents lie more in reading and teaching. ;)

That is one of the most unusual looking irises I have ever seen. You're right - it doesn't really even look like an iris. Beautiful, though.

About Me

Hi, I'm Kathryn. I garden in Zone 7a in Philadelphia, PA, where I'm trying to make my enormous perennial garden dreams happen on a tiny city lot.

Before 2012, I used this space to keep track of photos of my garden while maintaining a handwritten journal. Since 2012, I've been using it as that but also as a garden blog. You'll be able to tell the difference in posts.

Also in 2012, my back and side yards underwent a total transformation. I found out I'd been planting on someone else's property (it wasn't really mine) for 7 years. New homes went up and half of my garden was ripped out. I had to start all over.
