Love the beards on your white NOID and Triple Dragon is very pretty with it's horns.

Kind of a on and off drizzly day. Got a few new pics though.

All Together with a couple others

beautiful irises Ken! and I love your altogether shot with your garden in the background.

Yes, your garden shot is nice, Wish my veggie garden was a far along as yours.

Lookin' good, Ken ...Arlyn

Thanks Tom, Arlyn and Bonnie. I start a lot of my veggies inside since we have such a short growing season.

Your "Red Handed" does not look right. There are not ruffles on yours and the form looks wrong too. There is a big gap between the standards and Falls that a more modern iris does not exhibit. RH is a mid to late bloomer, but your season just started, correct? Are you sure this ID is correct?

After looking closer, I think you are right. I have RH, MK, Spades and Guinvere's Kiss and couple others all together till they increased more. It is probably Guinevere's Kiss then. Lost my markers through the winter. I will have to plot them out on a chart this year. Everything seems to be blooming a little out of sequence this year. GK is a mid to late bloomer also. Red handed is the one in the group that hasn't bloomed yet.

I have the same tag problem. I am slowly trying to fix that, but it is frustrating to be expecting "X" and you get "Y".

It has been raining since yesterday and suppose to continue on thru the day. All the flowers look . I have a couple more from yesterday though.

Look at that big catapillar!




Grand Circle





Never realized it has horns till this year.
Okapi Poppy

Look pretty good ,despite the weather...Arlyn

Okapi Poppy is very pretty. Liked your garden shot too!

I like Grand Circle! I love space-age Irises -- and that one's a beaut!!

More beauties!

I need to go outside and give "spades" a kick in the rear the for not blooming. As for Mallory Kay, well that got added to obscenely long wish/want list.

Glad I could help with wish list. Spades has been increasing a pretty good clip here.

I have waited four years for 'Sorbonne' to bloom. First year after I planted, it increased verrry slowly. It had gotten the rot the following summer which was a wet one. I moved and cleaned it and now it is hitting it's stride and taking off. First flower to open on................................
Sorbonne
I'm glad I saved it...I love that brown and yellow iris.

Looks like it was worth the wait!

That looks great. I too kinda like the "Dirty Plicata" cultivars like this.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it when I purchased it. Now seeing it bloom.... it has added an interesting different color and look to the mix.
