Iris were ready to burst into bloom a few hours ago. Perhaps today is the day. I always try to mow and trim the front when they're in full bloom so I can take a photo of the house; the iris add a glorious look that isn't present for the rest of the year. I should be organized enough to plant big gaudy flowers like sunflowers and hollyhocks, but I never get around to it. Iris thrive with benign neglect.
