@Versicolor Thanks for sharing this inspiring photo showing a great combination of iris. I am particularly fascinated by the tall iris in the background. Do you know the name of this tall iris? I don't have the best of luck growing tall bearded iris, but I would like to try the skinny iris in my garden.

@LoriMT , thank you, I´m glad that you like my photo. Smiling

The Iris in the background are ´Iris sibrica`.They love sunny places and wet to moist
soil. At the edge of ponds they grow very well.
Oherwise you have to water them a lot in a bed.
Mine grow in a bed and with enough water it´s no problem.

They have smaller flowers than the Tall Bearded Irises and that looks very pretty.

@Versicolor Thanks for the input. I will be on the watch for an iris like that.
