My Long Awaited Lousiana Iris....

i have had it for years...err them i should say...as the one rhizome i was given by a faraway friend...from the US...years ago has produced several others...but none have produced any flowers up to date. Yesterday while sitting at the window facing the pond, i noticed that my old Lousiana Iris looks like as if it was about to produce a flower stalk.... aahhh could it be true...can i believe my eyes....??! But it was very late afternoon... approaching evening and maghrib was near...i promised myself that i will check her out the next day....and this morning i went to the back of the house 'armed' with my 'mobilephone-camera'.....n here she is... a sight making me deliriously happy....


..and i wonder if the others will follow suit in the near future....i really really hope so....

    1. There is no nursery that sells Louisiana iris in Malaysia, had check in Sg buloh and Cameron.
      I dah ada semua yg i tunjuk kat blog i termasuklah rosemary dan lavendar yg tak hingin pun nak berbunga,, dan banyak lagi yg tak terblog. I tinggal kat bachok , kelantan.
      kira i book satu, tak kira nak jual ke nak tukar. i kawan merata except US dgn Kanada je, kalau tak blh minta dia org tlg poskan.

      I'm still monitoring your wisteria progress, whether it can flower in our hot climate. Anyway rumah yg i tinggal sekarang dah tak ada laman nak bertanam. Insyaallah awal tahun depan pindah rumah, keluasan laman lebih setengah ekar.

      online nursery tu idea yg bagus, tambah2 kalau jual benih yg susah nak cari kat sini.Nak Order kat oversea kalau sikit, tak berbaloi dgn belanja pos yg mahal,
