Bearded Iris no ID

Wordless Wednesday – Spring blossom

The quince tree has put on leaf and the blossom is opening all within a few days

I’m told this is an ornamental flowering plum, possibly Prunus blireana

Magnolia

A new purchase, Magnolia stellata

Wordless Wednesday – Iris unguicularis

Iris unguicularis

I’m pleased to see that the divisions I’ve made of Iris unguicularis are all now producing flowers. It is the plant that flowers for the longest period during winter; often from November to May
