Reckless Abandon Stalk

Tom....I love your iris pictures. I might check the one you call Broadway. I remember Broadway as looking quite different from that one. Google it and see what comes up. Can't wait to see my Reckless Abandon.

Will have to do that, I got that one from a friend, might not be right. Here's a few more I just took
Champagne Elegance - Niswonger 1987 and Cranberry Swirl - Schreiner 2006

Foreign Legion - Keppel 2001 and Liaison - Ghio 1986

Peking Dancer - Blyth 1986 and Porta Villa - Gibson 1973

Beautiful Pictures....

Of your photos, I have *Champagne Elegance* and *Foreign Legion* -- I love them both.

That *Reckless Abandon* is something else!!

Tom I like Sofia and that stalk of Reckless Abandon is great you have some really nice plants there.

Thanks all, we have 32 degrees right now, not sure if it will get cooler before the sun comes out or not. Could slow things down a lot!

Chilly here, too. I don't think it was supposed to get that cold. I am impressed you have so many open - it's amazing what difference being an hour south of me makes.

I too love that stalk of Reckless Abandon - beautiful ~Jan

Jan, Most of the open blooms are in the area next to the house, I only have a few open farther away from that area.

A couple new blooms today
Going Dutch - Van Liere 2009 Nooksack Beauty - Dexter 1960

Ecstatic Echo - Dahling 1983

Tom I like Going Dutch curious how tall is that one I need some more White Iris I have very few in my garden and that looks like a good one

Beautiful blooms, Tom. And your RECKLESS ABANDON looks amazing -- what a great shot!

Aruba, Going Dutch is quite tall, I'll go measure it later when it gets light out, Yesterday it was very windy here, and it stands up to the wind nice. Looks like there are about 9 or 10 open, so maybe I can get a clump shot later. I will need to divide that one this year, so there should be some to share. It's an agressive grower, and seems to resist the crown mold issue.

Betty, good to see you back! That Reckless Abandon is so pretty, it's not hard to get a good shot.

Sounds good Tom if you have enough of it I would like some and Clump shots are great !!

Here are some pics from today
Going Dutch Clump (Tallest bloom in 39 inches)

Comfortable - Ghio and Indulgence - Blyth 2005

Oasis Patches - Chadwick 2000 and Plum Pretty Whiskers - Spoon D. 2003

I had a few more to show you, but I can't seem to upload them. I'll try later.

Trying again.
Quantum Leap - Sutton 2005

Ring Tone - Keppel 2011 Both of these blooms are at the bottom of the stem, but first to open, not the best pics. I'll take a better one later, but you can see the color.

I also have *Comfortable* -- it opened for the first time for me this year. Love it!! *Indulgence* is gorgeous -- so is *Ring Tone*. You have some incredible Irises, Tom!!
