A Cardinal Red iris from Texas

Classmate Lorlee Bartos sends flowers and encouraging news from Dallas. Her iris are blooming, so it won't be long now for Minnesota gardeners. Notice the veins in the gorgeous blossom above. If you tore off a petal, it looks like it would bleed Cardinal red. Below is a dewey fresh digital vase of back yard flowers snapped by Lorlee just yesterday.
