One last Flower Friday for May. The Watsonia finally bloomed.
These tall flower spikes are pretty long lasting.
They look a bit like hibiscus don't they?
More of the peonies are opening up.
They really are beautifully extravagant.
The roses on this Peace rose bush, which is at least 40 years old now, are bigger than ever this year. This is due to us putting a whole lot of homemade compost on it over the winter.
The flowers are about 6" wide.

I was so surprised to see this peach colored iris in a planter on my deck.
This type of iris always reminds me of flamenco dancer's dresses.
No real contrasting flower parts on this one, completely monochromatic, just like the more common purple ones. I wonder if this is a mutant of some kind? Apparently sometimes bees can cross-pollinate and a seed pod will develop, drop into the soil and then sprout the next year. There's a lot of bees around so maybe so.
