A Surprise in the Garden

I was walking through the garden today, checking out the newly-planted tomatoes and herbs, when I spotted these mini irises tucked in between larger, more-established irises plants.  Such delicate and pretty!

There are 4 of them and each one is about 4 inches tall.  You can see the larger irises leaves in which these miniatures hidden.  Those larger ones are white.  We have deep purple ones across from the white.  These tiny ones seem to be a combination of the two-- I wonder if our irises cross-pollinated?!

Regardless of how we have them, we do and it was such a lovely surprise this afternoon!
