Most of y'all are much more detailed than am I. Moved here [ North Carolina ] 3 yrs ago and had no idea what was what or when it would bloom.
Took daily photos of flower bed - end to end and side to side - then waited. As things bloomed, photographed them and looked for a name - at first just called them all "Iris"... stop laughing !
With lots of help / online and in here, most have 'proper' names -- others do not.
At the end of blooming for each one, put a large chopstick in the ground with #on it [ order it bloomed; date it bloomed; color and name, if I had it.
Have at least 11 varieties -- the lady who lived here before me liked her Iris plants !
Of course, the following year - most of that info held true with the occasional Iris that sent a 'tuber' to another location - totally confusing this person. Here I thought they stayed put !
Have begun the photo process this year [ as it has been done yearly ] - 1st to bloom is bright yellow - Golddigger .. I think.
There are purple buds, but weather is colder than usual and they don't look happy about it.
