It's gorgeous M1!!! 
Do you know that your yellow bearded irises are an antique variety called "Honorabile" from 1840. Victorians used to grow them in circular beds and that's how they always grew at my house which was built in 1890. I moved them to
along the top of a long retaining wall where the morning sun shines through their yellow and mahogany.
Here they are from the "Antique Iris Preservation Society". Check out the other iris photos - makes you want em all.
