Iris blooms in March
show spring’s arrival
By Eddie Smith
MSU Extension Service
One of the first signs that spring has truly arrived in my garden comes at the end of March when irises begin to bloom.
Their elegant flowers rise above sword-like foliage, bringing color and renewal to the landscape. Each bloom feels like a celebration of spring returning to the South. Irises have long been favorites in Southern gardens, and several different types thrive particularly well in our warm, often wet conditions.

The pace of modern life is so packed and structured, sometimes it’s great to have an open afternoon with nothing planned.
That’s how it was last Friday when, out of the blue, I got a text from my long-time friend Scott Coopwood from Cleveland.
“Headed to Jackson for Morgan Freeman’s Blues symphonic deal tonight. Do you have any interest in joining us? I’ve got two extra VIP tickets.” A quick call to Ginny and we were in.
