The "Eleanor Roosevelt" Iris is my favorite flower, my very favorite. We didn't know if it was among the transplant survivors until a few days ago, when the buds revealed the almost black petal tips. "Yay, Eleanor's here!" we said. (Notice the second, smaller bud poking out to the left in my picture above.)
This morning, the first two flowers opened. (Above, still unfurling.) To me, they are soooo beautiful. What a unique, rich color! Like "Eternal Bliss," the flower itself is smaller and more compact than other bearded iris varieties. (Below, fully open.)
