trying not to kill the beautiful things
I don’t recall seeing this one bloom last spring, but I could be mistaken.
My brief research suggests that this iris might be ‘Stepping Out’, but it’s next to impossible to identify a No-ID iris.
Irises and peonies have to be two of my favorite flowers — even more so because the deer don’t eat them!

Mid-May always seems to be when the early bloomers have faded (hyacinth and daffodils, mostly), but the full-on Spring color hasn’t quite broken through.
In another two weeks, the double peonies and the Siberian irises and the roses will all be in bloom. By the next Bloom Day, many of those will also have faded, but others will come to take their place.
As always, many thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens for hosting Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day on the 15th of each month!
