The weather is going to be warm this week end so that means I can do some gardening. I have a bed of bulbs and in them I have some Bearded Irises. They are a beautiful Purple and Yellow color. They are called Bearded Iris because of the yellow or orange fluff that comes out of the center of the flower. The beard and the petals is what attracts the bees so the bees can pollinate the flowers. The Iris is one of many flowers were the leaves stay green all year even in the dead of winter. However after a long period of time you have to separate the bulbs so they are not so close together. If they are to close only few flowers will bloom. The bulbs also hatch little baby bulbs so you never have to buy more. That's a big plus.
