Plant of the Week 7.17.26: Iris 'Okagami' (Nita-Jo); Rosa 'Chewmaytime' (aka Paprika) (Ciscoe).Note to viewers: Every now and then we discover a correction after filming. This week's iris is Iris 'Okagami,' not Iris pseudata 'Eye Liner.' And if you wondered why Ciscoe mentioned that the rose didnt have many blooms, it's because our local deer had already eaten many of them. #bellevuebotanicalgarden #bellevuewa #plantoftheweek #plantlove by @bellevuebotanical
