That is gorgeous Miriam.  Too bad we can't get that first yellow

Lovely way to start the thread for this year, Hans!

Miriam, I've been seeing yellow atropurpurea photos from David Shahak on Facebook lately - quite amazing! I had no idea such a thing was to be found!

Hans, What a wonderful way to start off a season!
Miriam,  Iris atropurpurea in colours that are best seen, not read about. 
 Thank you both for sharing these treasures!
