A few more to look at.

I can sure understand why it got it's name, it sure is a brilliant colored iris.

I'll try this again, had a post all ready to finish, and woops closed the browser before hitting the finished button. Grumbling I did have more pics to post from yesterday. It was 50 degrees this morning, so that slowed things down, but it is sunny and should be a warm day and that will speed things up a bit.

I posted a pic of this before and called it an accidental seedling. I didn't recognize it at the time but then it came to me that it was Taz. I had though I had lost it, but it must have survived and moved itself.

Taz kind of reminds me of the more recent Mystify or Power and Design at least in the pictures of these.
I have Mistify ,but it has not bloomed for me.

I have had Mistify since it was new, it's still just one rhizome. Not really doing well, and it's in a prime spot.

Some more opened today. Took some pics in the full sun, and then later in shade to see which looked best. Some each way.

I'm having a few open in the outer beds now. They should be going pretty well in a week. Today there's more open near the house as well.

Fashion Alert I haven't seen this one in years.

Not sure what its name is. I know it's a Paul Black, lost the marker years ago, now it finally bloomed. I suppose I can dig in my records and find the name. I'd know it if I heard it.

After a windy day it finally became very calm last evening. Finally I didn't have to battle the wind and try to take some pictures.

Tequila Sunset's first time blooming. It's really neat.

Busy day yesterday, new foal born early, not much time to post. Some new blooms opened though and things are moving fast with temps in the 80's. Will be near 90 today and mid 80's tomorrow. Things will open fast now.

Dressed to the Nines opened yesterday, what a beauty, hard to capture it on pic. It's been a good parent to.

You mentioned some "lost markers", well, I can't remember "like I used to', and have WAY more "lost markers", than usual, so I have my work cut out for me! Not sure if all the tags are "lost", grown over, and I just can't find them, or if the iris gremlins have taken them Shrug!
