Waiting for buds to open is fun – when they do their thing at last. I too have been waiting on buds. Mostly on my magnolia tree. You can see my latest blossom photos over at Cafe Ludwig (link in prior comment).

Now THAT is Imperial Purple. I can see the Emperor garbed in a toga or a cloak of that color. It would be so very regal. As is your iris.

No it isn’t that iris. I think the iris from a couple of days ago will have a purple outline on the bottom and white and yellow otherwise. 😀 😀
