First Iris of the Season!

I got home today to see one of my Dutch iris in bloom, and two other buds almost open!!! I didn't get any of the purple ones last year, though I always have a whole mess of yellow and white ones in another bed - I have about 50 now that ought to be blooming in the next week or two - assuming the freezes are over.

And, a little weed vine thing growing around the poker plant - too pretty to tear up. For now.
