Another one that is always on my top ten list. An oldie but a great one. A rescue a few years back...... I believe it to be RheinNixe?

Oh great, it was bad enough that I'm calling "Drinks at Sunset" "Drunks at Sunset"...now I'll be saying "Cheap Thrills" too.

Thank you for sharing more beauties Ken! Thumbs up

well, you need those irises Rob. You can have Cheap Thrills with Drunks at Sunset and actually brag about it. I had a friend once that bragged that his wife now had a Sugar Daddy..... it was a plant he bought her.... we must all be a little nutty... that's what keeps us sane, right.....

Shadow Warrior

Big fans and flowers. Taller than its registered height.

Getting close to showing you all what I have. There are a few more to bloom and a few that won't bloom this year. The fans on those were dead right down to the ground after the spring thaw. They have recovered nicely though. Not too bad for adding a couple here and there over the last four or five years. Never thought I would have this many and I am still adding a few more ... thanks to you...you...you enablers...you. Grumbling Blinking Whistling Sticking tongue out

Looking good, you must be nearing the end, as Ring Around Rosie is alway one of the last ones to bloom for me. This year it didn't bloom here, so enjoying your pictures. Shadow Warrior looks like one that Arlyn needs to add to his Native American Theme bed! Whistling Whistling

Nice pink one! I had lots of weird ones this year too. Mostly at the begining, and at the end of the season.
