Bearded Iris, "Blackwater"

This was the first year we planted these Iris's, because of the cat and her determination to taste and eat everything outside. Like the other "bulb" plants, the Iris's are actually one of the worst things she can get into and make herself extremely sick. After so many years of not being able to plant becuse of the cat, finally we decided no more. So, with that I got to finally plant my favorite flowers this year, and we got some really nice, unique colors and styles. Again. these are all from the spring of 2024. All of the following are Iris's in the "bearded" category, with their own sub categories based upon appearance; odor and complexity.
