The giant blue iris

Spring is here and the irises are in full regalia at City Park – white, purple and yellow. But it’s the giant blue iris that is truly our state treasure. They are just about to peak in swamps and the best place to view them is Jean Lafitte’s National Park. I called this morning but they said they are not “at their best representation” right now – meaning we need a little more heat in the air to get them all to bloom and create the sense of being in a 3D Monet painting.
