Iris Farm

On Sunday we took a drive out to a local iris flower farm. The iris is not one of my favorite flowers and I do not know too much about them, but I thought it would be fun to see. The colors were amazing and they were beautiful to see in full bloom.

The amount of different vibrant colors were amazing.

They had clip boards with order forms and Faith had to have a clip board so she could write down all the different names of the flowers. It was fun to read all the different names they have for each color.



This white one was my favorite. Although the picture doesn't do it justice. The name of it is "Just Magic"

All the colorful petals remind me of butterfly wings.



I loved this one too. Almost looks like black velvet...

It was fun walking through all the different iris and I was wishing the boys would have been with us to try and get some nice photos of the 3 of them. They will be open to the public for a couple more weeks so am hoping to get back again.

With the pretty weather now and the school year coming to an end (I can't believe only 6 more weeks!) our days are in full bloom!!!

What a gorgeous day for viewing flowers! I do love irises. They take me back to my days in the flower shop. I loved putting them in arrangements with other spring flowers like freesias, tulips and daffodils.

I love the photo with the green hills in the background.
