Maiden bloom on my Japanese Iris
When I visited the Tera Greenhouse in our city in the fall of last year, I was immediately attracted by the beauty of the flower in the name tag.
The clean, crisp white flowers with a violet ruffle edge, as well as a yellow cross in the middle, gives a soft yet spectacular effect. No wonder it has a pretty name: Dinner Plate Tiramisu Jananess Iris.
I bought it and planted it in our front yard after right going home. This spring, I was waiting eagerly for it to bloom. But I didn't see any bud showing up even when other iris finished blooming. I thought maybe I planted it too deep. I was thinking I might need to re-plant it this fall.
To my surprise and excitement, I saw three buds at the beginning of June. After searching on internet, I learned that Jananess Irises normally blooms later than other Irises, in early to midsummer.

Pick up two and put in a glass bottle:
Thank you.
Enjoy the Summer!
