Thanks for the reminder Evelyn .

Robin ~ You are

There are so many beautiful pictures there, it might take a while to decide.

Thanks Evelyn. I enjoyed it and voted!

I hope more people are voting in the contest.

I voted. On some of the categories it was very hard to only pick three.

Barbara ~ On many categories I found the choices were difficult to narrow down. There are a lot of excellent photos there!

And in one category nothing seemed to me to stand out as special or inspired. But other categories had an abundance of beautiful photos.

Irises and Personal Landscapes were all I voted on, but those items were hard to narrow down, I felt. Lots of wonderful pics. I would still like to vote on some other categories. I wonder if it is too late. Off to check.

It's time to vote for Best of Show! You get to choose 3!

Sadly missing from the contest, but wowza!

just thought they should be adored by iris lovers because they are worthy of adoration

I agree too.

Is it Absolute Treasure? Beautiful shot. Really like the picture of Dipped In Dots too. What is the gorgeous iris in the last shot?

I voted for Best in Show, and it was really hard to choose! Beauties!
Thanks for the reminder ,Evelyn.It was hard to remember everything
over the holiday.

Thanks for posting those photos, Dirt
I was meaning to get them posted on the iris forum as well, together with the backlog of my iris photos. I will get around to it eventually!

Yes, Leslie, that is indeed 'Absolute Treasure'. This year it had stronger colors than last year as the weather was a little cooler during bloom.
It is such a lovely iris, with wonderful garden qualities as well.

The last one is 'Boston Cream'.

William ~ They are absolutely beautiful!

(Especially Absolute Treasure! )

Maybe mine will bloom next year.

Can't wait to see the rest of your iris images!

Boston Cream. I have heard so much talk about that one this year. Keith did several crosses with it I believe. Really a pretty bloom.
