I live in Tennessee and the Iris is our state flower. They are very common here, but I just love them! I have a lot of colors growing throughout my gardens. I just wish they bloomed longer!

I didn't know they were your state flower! Good choice! I'm sure your gardens are beautiful :)

Your comments are very encouraging! The light was a perfect, but rare, for Phoenix, high overcast!
