Our flowers on the patio are blooming ๐ธ and theyโre inspired by a big piece of Chicago history!
Meet โCubs Win Itโ, a bearded iris named for the 2016 World Series win. These flowers proudly flaunt the Cubs blue with ruffled petals that look like a waving pennant. The golden centers even gleam like trophies. โพ๏ธ๐
Fun Fact: These are called โbeardedโ irises because of the fuzzy tufts on the petals.
