I don't know what I was thinking.....probably about my new granddaughter who will have Lilly for a middle name. This is an Iris. I really love the color though. My mother loves the Iris Flowers. At one time she had at least a dozen different colors. I'm not sure that she had this color. I should see if I can find the owner of this place and ask if I can get a start. The yard was full of them here and there. Iris's are very tough flowers and spread, needing to be divided.
It is also the state flower of Tennessee. They are a native plant here. A wildflower. We have nine different species. I don't believe this one is wild. In fact I'm not even entirely sure it's an Iris.....lost my confidence!
If anyone knows differently, let me know. Beautiful flower!

It is beautiful...I am just a novice gardener so I am always asking questions of others.. Oh grandchildren...I do hope to have one some day. I am so looking forward to it....Michelle
Kathleen,
I am going to try and find out who owns the place and see if they'll let me have a start. If I get some I send one your way too. I just love the color!
