Siberian Iris.....Bluish/purple water loving Iris....potted
This iris grows about a metre high, and has fibrous roots, not rhizomes or bulbs. It has long erect grass like leaves.
Siberian Iris.
It dies down in the winter.
At this time of the year it comes out with lots of spikes of tall bright blue purple flowers. Makes a lovely show.
This little plant potted up last Summer has bravely tried to throw up a flower which should be about a metre high but its waiting till it can get into the ground to really show you what it can do.
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
