It’s Spring in the Mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. and our “Indian Chief” Bearded Irises are blooming! These Irises are burgundy with gold accents. We have an abundance of Bearded Irises this year. We can only assume it is due to the frequent rains this season. To learn the secret to continuous Iris blooms every year, click here.

Even after heavy rains, our “Indian Chief” Bearded Irises are still standing tall! We transplanted these Irises from an area that wasn’t getting much sun, to an area that gets several hours of morning sun. Apparently, they are very happy. Plants will find a way to let you know whether or not they are happy!
