First fully developed flowers in 20+ years. I guess they like company because the only 2 there are decided to pop out from branchlets right next to each other.

Flower buds are much more round in shape so I knew months in advance

I'm sorry to photo bomb this iris here, but a friend of mine dug these up and gave them to me
thinning hers out 3 years ago. She died last year, and they're really taking off and spreading.
I'll have to thin mine out soon I guess. Poison ivy sure loves growing in it though.
Last night for frost warning tonight I hope.

The white is such a stark white and it all glistens in the Sun. They'll be in full swing next week with temps moderating
but less Sunshine. Been a stellar week. Perfect Spring weather except for the frost.
Thanks Faye 😇

So nice to have something to remind you of her every spring.
