The TALL BEARDED IRIS season here in Northern Utah is drawing to a close. I only have 2 more iris left to bloom. Out of 189 iris, I had 60 that didn't bloom this year. Although that's disappointing, I, on the other hand, had 129 that did! Many of the non-bloomers were first-year iris. I've read where there is a 60% chance that a first year iris may not bloom; I have been fortunate--most of mine have bloomed in their first year. We also had a freezing cold snap early spring--coupled with an extra arid winter and spring--it has affected the plants--tulips, daffodils, iris, and also lupines weren't as prolific as usual. However, the various color-coded beds still had a lot of color, and I can't complain too much. Here's a look at some of the iris this season:
