This is a Bearded Iris or a Crinum. Or Not?




I don't know what to call this beautiful flower
This gorgeous flower bloomed a day or two ago. It is in the same bed of flowers as the crinum. I don't know if it is a crinum or a bearded iris. I looked it up in a book a while back and it looked like the flower in the picture.
It is so lovely to behold with the deep purple and rich gold. I would love to find a dress or any clothing in this glorious royal shade of purple. Being beautiful is not enough for this flower it also has a wonderful citrus but also delicate flowery fragrance. If anyone knows of a perfume that can mimic this flower's scent, please let me know.

I hope this bloom last a long time because I don't think it bloomed at all last year. Another reason this flower is so amazing.

Thanks for reading!

Crinum in bloom

Crinum in bloom

Spring is here! This picture from last year shows how bushy and high the plants grew- the tallest ever. I am interested to see if they will be very tall this year. The crazy weather changes have definitely had an effect all the plants in my yard.

Thanks for reading.
