Our irises - originally gifted from our neighbor’s clumps some years ago - are blooming spectacularly thanks to the winter rains. These are the first three to fully open.

A series of photos of bearded iris flowers. One has cream and gold upper petals with deep purple lower petals. One is purple with tiny white stripes, and one has cream and brown striped upper petals with purple and white spotted lower petals.
A view of some purple #iris #flowers and the pond that Hamilton Carr used as a private fishing #pond until he bequested the property to the city of #Sumter, South #Carolina to be maintained as a public #park; filled with irises and all eight species of swans.
Sumter now maintains the Swan Lake Iris #Gardens as a public attraction and beautiful #botanical #garden and a peaceful place.

A #Photograph of an #Iris #Flower at the Swan Lake Iris Gardens in #Sumter, #SouthCarolina.
#SwanLake #Gardens was formerly the private property of a wealthy resident, but was donated to the city to maintain as a public #park.
The #flowers are amazing, such as this incredible #JapaneseIris with #white #petals with #purple veins and smaller, central petals, as well as bits of #gold in the centers of the large petals.

A white #Iris at the Swan Lake Iris Gardens in #Sumter, #SouthCarolina.
Originally the private fishing property of Hamilton Carr Bland, a wealthy citizen, Bland purchased #JapaneseIris bulbs, which failed to thrive in his manicured garden. Angry, Bland ordered his gardeners to throw the bulbs in the #marsh, which exploded in #blooms the next year. Bland expanded the property and left it to the city of Sumter, which maintains it as a park for the public.

#OTD The American Iris Society was founded.
Starting with 60 eager members, the society had 500 members a year later.
Today, you can join the #Iris Society online at Irises.org.
When it comes to #Scent, the roots of the Iris contain their #Fragrance.
Although there are around 300 species of Iris, #BeardedIris & #SiberianIris are the most
common.
During the Middle Ages, Irises symbolized the #French #Monarchy, & the #FleurDeLis remains the national symbol of #France.
