Peggy, those are gorgeous blue irises. When you find out the names let me know please. smiles

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

No Coral Capers to be found! What's up with that?

I even tried Choral Capers, and no luck!

Hmmm, it is short, so you would like it. AIS calls it an MTB, but mine was not that tall. It was maybe 18". First year shortness? It had 5 blooms, didn't blow over and stood nice and upright. I buried it deeper than usual. I can give it a dig to see if there are any increases. This is one I will make great patches of.

I love blends like ' Rainbow High'

One's with dots or dashes like 'Whispering Spirits' or 'Expose' ' (It helps it they have yellow)

Yellow and white- 'Smart Money' and 'That's All Folks'

...and those are just for starts... It depends on my mood each day

It is in our database with my picture. Duh. I shoulda remembered that. The extra s threw the search off.

I'm a semi-retired studio potter.

If it's yellow, I prefer it to be on the subtle, creamy side, with other
colors like peach, pink or a touch of purple or blue.
I think I just described a favorite - Center Line:

I'll try to remember but remind me next year and I should be able to send you Stop Flirting. I just planted it last year and it looked just like this picture in my garden this year.
