I am going to start posting some pictures that Rick Tasco (and Roger Duncan) took of Rick's introductions in their Superstition Iris Garden in Catheys Valley California. I will start with the intermediates. Enjoy!

Backlit Beauty 2010 IB



Double Overtime 2005 IB-RE



Flying Solo 2005 IB

Bold Statement 2002 IB



Dark Forces 2007 IB



Miss Mauve 2000 IB

Hot Glow 2006 IB



Micro Burst 2009 IB



Starfield 2012 IB

Starfield looks just like one, doesn't it.

Their picture is soo much better than what we had in the database. Must be the difference of taking in the full Sun and the others that appear to be on a cloudy day.

I have read so many people who say photographs come out better on overcast days, but I disagree. Much prefer a sunlit photo.

Softly 2003 IB



Sparkling 2007 IB



Sonoran Sands 1996 IB



Sonoran Sands is another example where our current database picture does not do the plant justice.

Precious Joy 2004 IB



Pretty Princess 2000 IB



Mariposa Wizard 2004 IB-RE



Winged Angel 2003 IB

Winter Echoes (Species) 2011

These are both "unguicularis" irises.

Spring Bliss




OK; "Spring Bliss" is not on of their's; so I messed up.

American Original 2014 TB

Yeah, but I've seen that photograph of Spring Bliss before and it is STILL beautiful.
