It's very hard, of course, to have a garden full of black and gold flowers, so the best I can do is to have a garden gnome that I painted in Tigers colours.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-6323913923454144832018-10-19T10:54:56.444+11:002018-10-19T10:54:56.444+11:00Jamie, your irises are certainly worth a blog post...Jamie, your irises are certainly worth a blog posting every year. But never mind offending other countries, what about the football teams you now must acknowledge :0)<br /><br />Coincidentally (although not really, considering the season) I visited my sister yesterday and she gave me a section of walking iris she had trapped in a pot. It's a white one and has a beautiful intricate center. I found it on Google image search that linked a wiki page: http://creationwiki.org/Walking_iris<br /><br />My water pond irises have barely begun thinking of flowering. Hmmm. <br /><br />As for Christmas bush, as a child I travelled with Dad all over NSW (he was a painting contractor, not a shearer! :0) and whenever Mum was with us she endlessly oohed and aahed about Christmas bush whenever it appeared - which of course was everywhere. So that item became part of my life.<br /><br />Now you've reminded me of another plant for the bucket list.<br /><br />All the best. <br /><br /><br />Phil in Newynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-83872394675058716672018-10-18T08:43:45.005+11:002018-10-18T08:43:45.005+11:00MDN, when I saw your comment I realised I might ha...MDN, when I saw your comment I realised I might have offended you by talking all about Greece's blue and white colours, and omitting to mention Argentina's blue and white as well. An oversight, and please accept my apology, but in my local area whenever you see houses with blue and white colour schemes, you think "Greek family".<br /><br />I agree with you that the blue irises are lovely. I was totally happy with them until John gave me one of his white ones.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-28936804282978880992018-10-17T18:37:21.283+11:002018-10-17T18:37:21.283+11:00Beautiful irises!
