Iris ' J.S. Dijt '

We bought this little Iris from Kingston Lacy while we were there on Saturday. The lady at the till explained that they had been forced to lower the price due to the warm weather - they were all bursting into flower too early ... I had cannily searched out one not in bloom and with 4 shoots ( most had 3 ) so I feel I really got a bargain for £1.50!

Not totally happy with this particular shot I confess, but it's getting on and I'm determind to get an early night ( which really just means I'll be reading my book for 2 hours instead of one! ) so this will have to do for tonight.
