My world is green again and the gardens are bursting forth, such a joyful time of year. Today’s vase holds old and new cultivars of Bearded Iris (I. germanica); the purple came with the house over 35 years ago and smells deliciously like grapes. The white I bought so long ago, I don’t remember its name, but a favorite all the same. Three globes of Allium aflatunense ‘Purple Sensation’ and Corydalis chelidoniifolia as a filler complete the arrangement.
