These are my favorite irises. They are called Danfordia irises and they are dwarf irises. I love their vibrant color, but hate that they only seem to bloom here for just a few days. Perhaps it’s because even though they bloom in early spring we’re usually warming up fast here in Toronto just as they begin to bloom … if it were colder I’m sure they’d last longer. Oh well … then I’d be complaining that Spring was too cold … can’t have it both ways, now can I?
