Midsummer Nights Dream



The other pictures from the day before look MUCH better.

Here are the two new bloomers for this season.

Note: This is my first TB of the season!

One of my potted wonders.

Just lovely, Greg -- I'm so glad it's Iris season!!

...Arlyn

too

Greg - You're still a few days ahead of me but mine are catching up pretty quickly. Might be interested in some trades with you, I have started a list of some of my nicer clumps that you may or may not have.

I have been away for the last 4 1/2 days (from the garden) and things have started to speed up. I have TBs blooming now in my micro clim. Pictures later today (I hope). Here is what is blooming now.

Dumbledore
Cee Jay
Red Zinger
Persnickety
Delirium
Buttered Pecan
Learn
Skiddle
Autumn Circus
Again & Again
Pandora's Purple
Sidestitch
Sooner Serenade
Tessie the Tease

The temps have been in the low 80s and today and tomorrow will get to about 90-so I expect alot of blossums in the next week or so.

Can't wait to see them, Greg. We've had warmer temps too this week, but that's supposed to change soon with things back in the 60 degree range. I have several TB stalks coming out, funny thing is it's not in the micro climate area, but out away from the house.

I have no irises blooming yet, none, nada, not even the little guys. You folks are so far ahead of me.

Greg, I am looking forward to seeing the photos of your blooms.

Tom, my iris bloom schedule was all out of kilter and even though I have different micro climates the bloom rhythm was a bit bizarre. I had two MDB's blooming while the TB's were blooming........Ditto and Bugsy, almost like a rebloom.

Polly, I cant wait to see your photos once yours start blooming. However, be prepared for them to 'crowd' the bloom period. I had that happen I guess because I had such a late start to the bloom season.

Here is a Historic white NoID in my parents NC yard. They got this from some neighbor who has tons of it (and now my parents do too) and has no clue as to the name.

Looks a lot like Immortality - but that isn't a Historic. Pretty though.

Immortality's form leans to that direction, and I thought this might be Immortality as I posted it. Have to see if any rebloom.

Nice one, Greg.

More of my Irises in NC

Early Girl



Point in Time

Nice ones, keep them coming.

This is a Noid which I have tentatively ID'ed as "Mother Earth". I have a test plant next to the unknown in my garden, but it somehow made it's way down to NC (as Rare Edition which it clearly is not!)

Beautiful Greg!

Not you, but the irises

Boy! If that's Mother Earth, then Mother Earth is a beauty!!

I bought Mother Earth once -- turned out to be Clarence. At Lowes. Need I say more?
