| The Iris Borders, 30th May 2018 |
The borders around the new Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre (SNSC) were planted twelve months ago, see blog entry for the 11th July 2017 'Soft Landscaping Around The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre'. Two of these borders are now a vision of blue as the Iris sibirica 'Persimmon' and Geranium x magnificum reach their floral best.

The clump forming, early flowering Geranium x magnificum, has filled the border it occupies, its dark green leaves and rich violet-blue flowers drape over the edge of the border softening the harsh lines of the metal edging of the path. As the many mounds of geranium end the iris planting begins, hundreds of Iris sibirica 'Persimmon' filling two borders. The graceful, rich violet-blue flowers sit atop strong, erect stems and sword like leaves, creating a rather elegant display, even on a dullest of days the planting seems to make the nearby lake water more blue!
