I can't help wondering what happened this year. Our iris usually bloom toward the end of April. This iris, Hell's Fire, bloomed on March 31. I'm not sure how this iris got its name, but I think it's pretty in spite of it. We now have several iris in bloom.

It's a beauty!
I'm so glad I enlarged this one! This iris is to die for!
Wow, what a name for this stunning Iris. Its burgundy color is like a fine wine.
Have a delightful weekend, George.
cheers
The color is just amazing!
i agree the color is truly amazing, and the name is strange for a flower. i love the little orange looking tonuge that is flopping out of it, or maybe it looks like an orange catepillar. beautiful flower
Just perfick George.
This is one of my favorites. I am a few weeks away from blooms but I will have a few to share. I really like the color of Hell's Fire.
A wonderful Iris, I really like how you have captured their beautiful colors.
EVERYTHING is blooming WAY ahead of time! I really expect to see the Crepe Myrtles any day now!!! This is deep and beautiful. The namer must have been on drugs to envision a purple fire.
love the deep red colour!
soo beautiful photo!
This iris really grabbed my attention. It is so pretty. Maybe it got it's name from the way it stands up and almost looks like flames shooting upwards.
That is a beautiful picture. George you do a wonderful job it getting your close-ups in perfect focus.
I love that deep rich colour.
The name is as colorful as the flower!
I think everything will bloom earlier this year because we've had so little winter.
March!??? Wow... I have buds but no blossoms. Really amazing flower!

She's a beauty with such a deep dark color.
another gift to us from above!
Beautiful, glad that I clicked it. I wonder how the Iris got its name, Hell's Fire as its not really fiery red. isn't it? :-)
Such a beautiful flower... hard to grow here.
It's a gorgeous color! I really love it.
By the way, we missed seeing the Jamestown replica ships at sail too, and I was so disappointed. I think they did it at 9 am and we arrived after 10. It was so crowded for the anniversary, but I was glad we went!
Must be from the color—fiery! And gorgeous!
