Tom great pics Thanks for the Clump shot of GOing Dutch it looks really good Im glad you got bloom out of Adoree it really is a great color combo and stands out, That pic of ringtone and comfortable are good as well keep them coming.

Love Adoree, the color combo is amazing! That one goes on my list. Love the others, too.

Wow -- *Adoree*!!!

First year for Adoree and Haunted Heart in my garden. Adoree made several increases but isn't going to bloom. Haunted Heart has only one increase and is going to bloom. I'm not happy about either one.

Paul, my Adoree took two years to bloom, I pllanted Haunted Heart last year, and it's going to bloom, and has several increases.
Here's some pics from yesterday.

I finally have some TB's blooming, but for some reason am unable to post the photos. WIll have to try tomorrow. I have Midnight Oil, Daughter of Stars, Stepping out (very strong scapes, 40" tall, need no support) and a first year bloom, High Octane - which is gorgeous. Hopefully I can post photos later.

Since all of my iris were either new, or transplanted last season, I am thrilled with the blooming & buds I am seeing. I didn't expect much this year. ~Jan

Jan, there are times when it doesn't let me upload pics too, Not sure what that's all about, but sometimes I can try later and then it works. Can't wait to see your blooms. I have a few pics I took yesterday afternoon.

oooooooooooooooooh -- *Tempesto*!!! Also love *New Face*!! The red/white/blue beard on *Stars and Stripes Forever* is very cool!!

*Juke Box Hero* bloomed for the first time for me this year -- it is now one of my favorites. Pictures don't do this Iris justice! *Starring* bloomed for the first time too -- this is a gorgeous Iris!!

Love your photos, Tom!

Thought I'd post a picture of my *Juke Box Hero* -- for comparison!

Yours looks bluer. Mine looks lighter -- in full morning sun -- it isn't.

What a beautiful Iris -- like I said, pictures don't do it justice!

I think your picture is closer to the real color, I took the picture as the sun was rising this morning, It is a nice flower, and it has a nice fragrance too. Starring had bloomed last year, with a very short stalk, and somewhat of a smaller bloom. This year it's much stronger, maybe due to the mild winter we had. My Expose lost a nice bloom stalk, just rotted off, there's a small weak looking stalk there, but I don't hold much hope for a nice bloom this year from it. I had several more blooms this morning, but some needed some time to fill out, I'll have to take the pics tonight after I feed the horses.
