Iris Sultan’s Palace..

Growing in my garden. Such rich, lush colours. The bearded irises are beautiful plants. I am amazed that such beauty can emerge from their tight buds.
A busy day in my garden staking irises and sorting out a section of the irrigation system. Then planting some vegetables.
It is Marlborough Anniversary Day…. A public holiday. Luckily, apart from a cool afternoon breeze, the weather has been fine and mostly sunny for the holiday weekend.
