Irises: photo and description

Irises are extraordinarily beautiful flowers that have enjoyed unchanging popularity and love among gardeners for many years. Irises, the photos of which you can see above, belong to perennial plants that perfectly tolerate winter, so growing them will not be difficult even for novice gardeners.

These plants are quite unpretentious and easily adapt to a wide variety of conditions. They do not tolerate only excess moisture and stagnant water in the soil, therefore, a small slope, where stagnant water cannot form, can be considered an ideal place for them, in principle.

Irises, photos of which are attached to this article, are not the only form of this plant. This species is distinguished by a huge variety of colors and shapes, each of which can become a magnificent decoration for any garden.

Irises bloom, as a rule, from the end of May and continue to bloom until July. If you pick up several different types of irises, differing in flowering time, then you can enjoy these beautiful flowers for more than two months.

Iris is one of the most common and famous flowers. In ancient Greece, irises were grown in entire fields and plantations. True, they were used there not only for decorative, but also for medicinal purposes. For example, for the manufacture of a medicine for a snake bite. Now the iris has only decorative value, but this plant still has a lot of fans. Irises are loved by both ordinary gardeners and landscape designers who use irises both solo and in sophisticated compositions.
