Wichita

Posted By Firefox on March 6, 2009

Just so you don’t think early spring in Wichita can be a bit dreary and boring, I walked about 2 miles to check out early spring bulbs braving the dry cold winds.  Inside Botanica, the Wichita Garden, I found masses of Reticulata Iris in bloom.

This tiny iris only stands about 6 inches high and they can flower in blue, purple, pink or yellow. Reticulata iris are some of the first bulbs to bloom, pushing up through a low groundcover.
