I can’t wait for my 4,000+ Sweet Lena Iris to bloom. The little buds are thinking about opening their faces to the sun …
… but it was a bit stormy again today.
It’s been drizzling all week, but Memorial Day weekend promises to shine some sun on my patch of sweet, sweet, sweetie-pie, bubble-gum scented, iris.

MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
You must post a photo when the field is all abloom! No doubt it must be gorgeous !!
We will, Winnie. Promise. I wish I could send you the FRAGRANCE when you’re standing in the middle of the patch.
Good for you! Those of us who live out west know what a blessing rain is! I sure wish you could bottle the scent of your iris! I live in the foothills of the Rockies in southern Colorado, and we’ve been enjoying a bit of rain ourselves. Right now the penstemon are all over excited and in full bloom!
Blessing indeed. We’d just finished planting our last row of veggies, when it started to rain, 1/2 inch total. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Grow plants, GROW! For this fall, I’ve ordered penstemon. Better to plant in the fall I’m told. I’ve never grown it. Gorgeous!
My Sweet Lena’s have already bloomed here in CA. You will love penstemon!
Sweet:)
