Standards & Falls Iris

S&FI ladies on the road, summer 2026 – just returned from a fab trip to Detroit. Seriously we wanted to stay there forever, or at least til their next cold front….. We found lots of irises – including a Louisiana Iris, what??? At the lovely Piet Oudolf garden on Belle Isle, we discovered a humble Iris fulva blooming in the rain garden. The horticulture director told us Mr. Oudolf requested the copper iris after seeing one on a hort scouting visit in Missouri. Iris geeks, out!

Happy Iris Day!

National Iris Day is observed annually on May 8 to celebrate the beauty, diversity, and late-spring blooming of the iris flower. The day is named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow, with its signature three upward "standards" and three downward "falls".

Now you know how our business got its name! We've chosen Louisiana Iris 'Cajun Jester' to celebrate today. https://standardsandfallsiris.com/store/CAJUN-JESTER-p125110152

Today we are still celebrating Louisiana Irises blooming here in Texas. These last four blooms are freshly open, having been cut and brought in a few days ago. May the 4th be with you!

Looking for words to describe the ethereal paleness of this group of irises, we are pretty much speechless. Gorgeous, all of them!

If the flowers are still struttin' their stuff, we are going to keep posting them for you to enjoy! This is a pink-ish group, so we stuck a pink bird we saw last week on the end.

More blooms from the farm. Some are familiar, and some are new to us. All are show stoppers! we are going to keep posting til . . . well, until I run out of images to share with you!

It's like a July 4th fireworks celebration, you think it's the end ... but then more beautiful displays come along! Visited the farm yesterday, and saw so many gorgeous blooms -- let's look at some blues and purples! 💙💜

As Louisiana Iris bloom season begins to wane, we discovered more images to share from last week. We traveled to Lafayette LA to talk to our fellow Louisiana Iris enthusiasts attending the Society for Louisiana Irises convention. Lots of fun was had by all!

Let's keep going on the 2026 bloom season. Some whites and some yellows you say? On it!

Strolling out on Iris Point at the farm, we discovered a glorious variety of blooms yesterday. Come look......
