I've grown fond of iris over the last couple of years. The folks had them around the yard growing up. Even pockets of water iris by the pond never fully gained my attention.

They always seemed old fashioned, wind burned and short-lived. And, they still are. but for a brief moment, the glance we get from the blossom has made me stop and take notice. So much so, I'll be installing a border this summer along the path to the back yard.
