2012 Flower Pr0n - Mother's Day Edition

Sunday, May 13, 2012
Columbines, the Colorado state flower. I transplanted these shortly after the photo was taken, and I think I killed them.

Bearded Iris. I dug these up, too, because the base of the Maple where they lived looked like ass.

Wait until the followers are finished before you transplant. Blooms are plant sexy-times, and would you like to be moved during sexy-times?

Um, no. Probably not. But I was feeling INSPIRED.

Be inspired in the fall!

Usually by Fall I've completely lost my motivation. And my energy.

My Mom used to grow iris very much like those you've pictured. Over the years, the same bulbs produced petals that had less and less purple until the petals looked as though Mom had taken a fine ball point pen and drawn fine lines all around the edges of the petals. They were so lovely. Wonder if yours will do the same?

IllanoyGal, I dug these up along with the rest of the iris under the big Maple. They were choking the shit out of each other. But they basically have looked the same for the last ten years.
