Thanks all. Got to tired yesterday so still owe you yesterday's blooms.

Going to start with another bloom of Awake (very photogenic iris):



And fully open - love the patterning inside:

Yes, they are similar gold, but Aladdin's beards are bluer, and Killarney has that veining! I have Yummy Accent between them that also has gold falls, so they look nice together. And that was totally unplanned!!

To break up the color scheme, here are some that bloomed today:

Casper's Shadow (Thanks Tom! I love the color of this one):

Blueberry Tart (notice how very small the plant is, and this is not an MDB):

Okay, I saw all of Greg's pictures, but they don't do justice to how cute this little one is in person!!!

I am talking about Muggles!

Tom sent me Casper's Shadow too, but I don't think it's going to bloom for me this year.

And omigosh I love Muggles. Going to have to have that one!!
