Iris at Church Today
A winning combo in the church garden, partially under the canopy of a tree. A Deutzia shrub--probably Deutzia gracilis 'Nikko', a variegated iris--most likely Iris Pallida 'Albo Variegata' and Hosta 'Fortunei Albomarginata'. I divided this iris into 5 clumps along the cement stairs and added the hosta from a divide at home two years ago and all survived to be enjoyed as they continue to expand in this partial shade section. Annual petunias will soon add a touch of hot color at the edges of the walkway.
The white iris and a few yellow were in full bloom today--a few weeks later than last year, this one adding a needed bit of color on another dark spring day.
