Bearded Iris (I. germanica) have dominated the garden this week and I’m enjoying my root beer-colored cultivar (a passalong, so no ID), as well as a new edition: ‘Champagne Elegance.’ Also in the vase are a couple soon-to-pass Allium atropropureum, and a few lamb’s ears (Stachys byzantina) budded stems.

Graceful Siberian iris (I. sibirica) are also blooming, here with (white with red markings) Caucasian cranesbill (Geranium renardii), oxeye daisies (Leucanthemum vulgare), catmint (Nepeta racemosa), lady’s mantle (Alchemilla mollis), lamb’s ears (Stachys byzantina), seed heads of garden myrrh (Myrris odorata) and brome grass (Bromus sp.).
