I'm hoping my Cotillion Gown doesn't die. I had to dig it up, scoop out the rot and treat it.. It's back in the ground, but not looking great Sad

These were all late bloomers
'Pretty Kitty' has some crazy ruffles.


'Girly Girl' was abonus from Schreiner's in 2014


'Plum Pretty Whiskers' pretty much stunned me when it bloomed.


I'm going to have a hard time remembering which ones I've posted if we stretch this out over several months Hilarious!

This is Royal Harlequin, it's a great grower, has some interesting color blends, and blooms it heart out every year.

Breakers is an older one, but I like it's dependability in growth and bloom. It's supposed to re-bloom, but not in my zone.

This is Chardonnay and Ice, it's a good grower, a dependable bloomer, and it's subtle beauty is remarkable. One needs to enlarge and really study the bloom to see it's beauty.

Didn't see this thread yesterday, so I get to show six today -- right???? Green Grin!

I'll have to do it later today though -- I've been up for several hours and think I'll go back to bed and try for a couple more hours of sleep.

Great photos, guys! Great idea, Leslie. Thumbs up

Wow, that is a beautiful clump of Royal Harlequin! Lovey dubby

Bonnie - the blue and white noid looks a lot like Seakist.



And to counter Mary Ann - I love broken colored iris! And will probably post one or two..... later..... Whistling

As I said before, bonus iris have been kind to me. Have really been overjoyed with many of them.

Such as Montmartre:

Really like the yellow rim on Vatican Flag Jen! And the tiny tip of lavender on the beard.

my third, and last, photo for the day is another NoID. This little guy was bought as Absolute Joy and is obviously not AJ. I contacted the vendor to ask if they could put the correct name to it and they told me that they would check and get back with me. LOL

This is one case where the mistake was a happy one. I have since bought Absolute Joy and I really like this one too. smiles

Might I suggest you go to the vendors site and look at the pictures of the dwarfs they carry on chance they just pulled the wrong one? Might be worth a try.
