So Paul had moved some of our other irises from around the garden and into the new bed. We could have filled it to overflowing but just put in a selection of our others and the four we'd bought earlier this year.
Then four bags of gravel later it's finished. Only one iris will flower which is the large yellow one on the left of photo because the buds are already there. The rest have been trimmed back so that their rhizones will bake in the summer sun and store up energy to product lovely bearded iris blooms for next year.
So now it's back to the everyday garden jobs ...

Rather a pity thoughnthat they won't flower in time for your Open Garden Day but something lovely to look forward to next year.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they won't be but we'll be able to enjoy their display next year in April May June.
DeleteLooks beautiful; a great contemplation piece for the garden seat. I admire you productivity!

Thank you. The garden seats in this which we call the flower garden are great places to sit and enjoy the quiet and calm of the garden.
DeleteSomething to look forward to for next year! Even without flowers, the bed looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt will be and it does look nice and tidy there now :)
