My first Iris blooming in the pond

Not an exotic Iris, just the native blue flag, but it's my absolute favorite. If I could pick only one Iris to have in the garden, this would be it.

Me too, but not in a pond. I like the purple and yellow ones, I think my neighbour has some growing mingled in a fence, I'll rob him

It is very pretty. I didn't know you could grow irises in a pond.

I know the native blue and the yellow flags can be grown in the pond. The yellow grows everywhere. I put a clump of the yellows in the pond over 10 years ago, and they're all over the garden now.
There are actually quite a few different ones in the pond section of the garden centre.
