Every morning I pull back the bedroom curtain and peek outside to see what kind of day it's going to be. This morning a flash of blue caught my eye. I raced downstairs and outside into the front-yard shade garden to discover the Dwarf Iris "Cantab" in bloom. I would just like to say "Wow!"
It's only about as tall as my pointer finger but what an impact! It's the bluest bloom I've ever had in the garden and it is unforgettable (even my husband who rarely takes notice of anything horticultural remarked on the colour.) I planted 48 of these bulbs
last fall. I can't wait to see each and every one of them show their true blue colours.

Irena, that is beautiful! Iris is one of my very favourite flowers and I can't believe that it is blooming already in your Toronto garden.
From your "last fall" post I assume that they are bulbs and I'll look them up to see if they might tolerate our wet, heavy clay.

Congrats on the excellent color in your photograph! gardengeri
It is indeed a beauty!
I hope you received your seeds?
Did you get dressed first? I don't think I would have - it's beautiful!
I love the dwarf iris bulbs. Cantab has such a beautiful blue colour. I had some in my last garden, and just planted some Cantab in this garden last Fall. So far, only the tips of the green are showing, so I hope the weather warms up to encourage the blooms soon.
Beautiful blue flower(:
