African (or Butterfly) Iris


There are some beautiful flowers at the senior center that I couldn't identify, even after looking on the internet. I asked Susan Campbell, the Allen City landscaper and she told me that they're African Iris'or Butterfly Iris'. I found them on the internet after I found out what they're called. They're called Butterfly Iris' because the flowers look like butterflies sitting on top of the plant. The flowers last for only a day but bloom all summer. I tried to find some for my yard but couldn't find them. I asked Susan where I could get them. That afternoon she brought me two plants. And they're blooming in my yard already. That was so nice of her to add to the beauty of my yard.
