AmandaL Beautiful! 7y

tpixie @RestlessFickleBookSlut when you create a blurb for a new post, right next to where you can enter your picture is a teardrop link that lets you tag people. And to the right of that is where you can indicate if there's any spoiler alerts. It took me awhile to find it! #LitsyTips #SmittenByLittens 7y

tpixie @Redwritinghood @AmandaL Thanks!! 🌺 7y

melrailey My favorite flower! 7y

Sace @tpixie Hmmm. That must be on the iApp? 7y

DGRachel Gorgeous! 7y

kspenmoll Beautiful! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Oh those top two are so unique and lovely! 7y

tpixie @RestlessFickleBookSlut I do have an iPhone... 7y

tpixie @RachelO @DGRachel @kspenmoll @BarbaraTheBibliophage thanks!! It's fun to watch them bloom! We had a A couple come up that had never bloomed yet! He just planted seven new ones! 7y

CrowCAH Beautiful German Bearded Irises!!! My fav!!! 7y

tpixie @CrowCAH 🎉🎉🎉 they are full and fluffy! 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Wow!! I didn't even know about some of these! Gorgeous! 7y

tpixie @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled thanks! We have at least 157 varieties!! We don't know how to stop! 😳💕😝 7y

Mimi28 I really like the purple ones!! ❤️❤️ 7y

tpixie @Mimi28 yes! This one was really vibrant. And it's amazing how many different shades of purple there are! 7y

Mimi28 Yes, I love them all. I wish I could garden I don't think my landlord would approve. I'm afraid to have plants in the house because of the cats. My grandmother had aloe Vera plants here but that was about 35 years ago, lol. Have extra fun for me!! 😁 7y

tpixie @Mimi28 ok!! You're probably right, those cats 🐱 would knock over your plants!! 7y

Mimi28 Yes, and some of them are poisonous to cats. I tried the indoor cat grass but it just attracted little black bugs. I had to throw it out the same day I bought it. Your garden is awesome though! Keep up the great work! 7y

tammysue I love irises.. easy to grow and they smell wonderful when in bloom😊 7y

tpixie @Mimi28 oh my!! 🐜 Thanks!! 7y

tpixie @whatshesreadingnow yes they are hardy plants!! it's fun to sit in the middle of the garden when they're blooming to smell them! 7y

SilversReviews Gorgeous. Very vibrant. Thanks for sharing. 7y

Lindy Ooooh! Pretty! 7y

tpixie @SilversReviews @Lindy thanks!! We also have a few that are really weak in color, almost dusty. We call them 'the old ladies'. But these bright ones are fun!! 7y

SilversReviews @tpixie 😍😍😍on the old ladies. I am sure they are very pretty also. 7y

tpixie @SilversReviews I talk to them so they feel they are special too! 😝😂🤣 7y

Lindy @tpixie I think I know the dusty old lady colour you speak of. I like those irises too. 💚 7y

tpixie @Lindy they grow on you! I have appreciated them more over time 💕 7y

ValerieAndBooks Beautiful! I love irises. We can't do too much with flowers here because of deer. Part of our yard is fenced but not really deer-proof. One of our future projects! 7y

Faibka Beautiful!! 🌺 🌺 💕 7y

tpixie @ValerieAndBooks the deer 🦌 don't eat our irises! They did the little Siberian ones, but not these! 7y

tpixie @Faibka thanks!! 💖 7y

AceOnRoam Gorgeous 🌸🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷 7y

tpixie Thanks! We have some fun colors. Some didn't come up this year. I hope they do next year!! 7y

Greg replaced our some of our sandy land with better soil, & had to dig up and replant many of our irises. Bandette & Chloe like to supervise! #DogsOfLitsy

rockpools That's a lot of irises (and sounds like a lot of work). Hope we'll get to see them in full bloom one day. 7y

Sace So darling! I also hope you'll share pics when they are in bloom. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I agree with @RestlessFickleBookSlut - please post all those blooms for us!! 7y

tpixie @RestlessFickleBookSlut @RachelO that might be about 1/5 of them. Think about a football field to the 20 yard line!! It just keeps growing. I have to admit my husband does all the work. I mostly encourage him and then talk to the Irises when they're blooming. I'll post some around the end of May through June. I wish I could tag a photo on this thread to show you a few of them! 7y

tpixie @BarbaraTheBibliophage I will! 7y

RaimeyGallant I want to harvest the furry ones. They're cute. 7y

tpixie @RaimeyGallant lol funny! They are fun! 7y

Cortg Awe, they look so happy to be supervising in the sunshine! 7y

tpixie @Cortg yes! They love basking in the sun ☀️ 7y

tammysue Cute pic! 7y

tpixie @whatshesreadingnow thanks! 7y
