Earlier we looked at some irises and other flowers that bloomed this past spring in NW Louisiana. The season was very late and when it finally turned warm, everything bloomed at once!

A nice clump of this iris growing by the Koi pond with several others off to the side.
I really like this Tall Bearded iris! It was a gift and that makes it even more special.
I have never met C. Carrol and really do not know much about the hybridizer, except he hybridized outside the US. It is a pretty iris and I look for it each bloom season.
A beauty with a great south Louisiana name. Joe Musacchia (Cajun Joe) has produced numerous lovely Louisiana irises.
Another beauty with a great "southern" name.
That's about it for part II folks. Don't miss part III. I hope your bloom season was more "normal". If you are interested in knowing more about or growing Louisiana irises feel free to contact the Society for Louisiana Irises for more information. You can learn more about all the other irises at the American Iris Society website.
