another day, another iris!

A mix of sunshine and clouds today - been rather pleasant istting out in the garden this afternoon reading although now it's turned a nasty shade of dark grey so I may have nature lending me a hand with the plant watering soon!

Another iris has burst into bloom today and this one is a lovely shade of lilac! I definitely need more Iris in the garden as they've done so well this year! Planted up an old pot today with some flowers I grew from seed - alyssum - so feeling rather chuffed with myself as it's the first time I've tried to grow them!
