More forced spring flowers. As usual with pictures involving blue or violet flowers, the actual color is very different from this (darker, purpler).
I don't remember Irises being involved in these plantings last year; maybe our supplier has diversified. Or maybe (more likely) I'm just not remembering last year very well. It was a little traumatic in spots. Maybe I've blocked it from my memory.

Don't know how much prettier that can be in person, you captured the colors quite well.
I don't remember seeing forced Iris anywhere before. I was never able to get them to bloom at the normal times.
I love those little bulbous irises. Iris reticulata is the only species that comes immediately to mind, though I know that there are several others. They would look so pretty with those petite daffodils you posted earlier. I went out to two of my local nurseries today, but neither of them had any forced bulbs yet. Pity.
Hey! Nice new banner!
I had a little blue iris at another garden and keep meaning to plant some where I am now.
I know what you mean about the color, it's deep blueish with some purple.
