In Blooms #9 + Iris

This is another transplant from my Grandmama's garden, an iris with violet purple and lavender. 

Helen Collingwood Iris
I didn't even know its name until I researched when writing this post.  It's a Helen Collingwood, hybridized by Kenneth Smith in 1949.

  1. How beautiful. I've always loved that particular iris, but didn't know it's name. Thanks for sharing!

  2. It's a beautiful iris. I've never seen one in this color combination. Question: Have you updated yet to the New Blogger? All of us Blogger people have to do so by the end of June. I updated and don't see too much different. I think you haven't updated yet, as I am still unable to comment on your blog from my computer. Supposedly, the update will fix that (for me) and I'm excited for that to happen. Have a great week ahead!

  3. Beautiful Iris. We have some that came from my husband's family.

  4. All those shades would be perfect in a quilt, doesn't nature give us so much inspiration.

  5. Gorgeous iris and fun to know its name, and that it is also from your grandmother's garden.
