Sun-Bright Yellow Iris



These gorgeous sun-bright yellow iris have to be actually seen to believe. May is the month that the iris bloom along the Wasatch Front in Utah. Iris are perennials and bloom every year. Of course, they need to be fertilized and when the plants get too thick, they need to be replanted and spread out. When I was very young, we associated iris plants, then called "flags," with cemeteries and particularly Memorial Day. Because there are many flower buds on each stock, they continue to bloom for a few weeks and then the plants grow during the summer.
