the iris is the tennessee state flower. i have never been a huge fan of them because they just don't last that long. this was until i really started looking at all of the irises out there. we have an official state iris garden close by in the ellington agricultural center. there are so many that are old varieties and a lot of new varieties as well. it is a beautiful setting, raised beds surround a gazebo and there is a small stream with a bridge, a popular wedding site in the spring. my mother in law, linda, is also an iris fan. she has several varieties in her garden and she sent me these photos of her black iris.
