You have so many beautiful SDBs Tom, and plus you've got the TBs too! Just how many irises DO you have?!

Probably too many!

But also not enough, huh?

Lovely collection of "Littles" Tom! Your gardens are beautiful!

I also find it amazing that you have blooms before we do here in PA. My small front garden of SDBs is finally showing some color, and there are stalks showing on the TBs on the hill. A couple of weeks early for many of them this year.

Pam, I can't wait to see your amazing hill filled with color, hope you post a lot of pics. I am about a full week ahead of most years.

OK, I wouldn't dare do this, I'd kill all the plants.
I did do a lot of weeding today, but managed to get a few pictures too.

Overcast

Vavoom

Peppito

Stop and Stare

Alamo Joe

Robin's Nest. I keep trying to get a pic of this one that shows it's true colors, but I give up, It's a much darker and very lovely little one.

Fido

Kookoo

Kiss Me Pink. The later blooms have a bit more ruffles.

Meticulous clump

Here Comes Trouble was open this morning. I took a picture at dawn to try to beat the rain. It's pouring here now.

It was pretty dark out when I took that picture, but I was trying to beat the T-storm that was quickly heady toward me. There was a few minutes when the storm stopped and it was a bit brighter, also the bloom relaxed some, so here's a more accurate pick of the bloom.

Here Comes Trouble


Zooboomafoo A little blurry, but it's raining out and I'm not going out to take another picture.

Here Comes Trouble needs to make its way to my garden...PRONTO.

Where did you get it?

It was introduced last year by Thomas Johnson at Mid-America.

Awesome -- I am planning to place a big order with Mid-America to celebrate my birthday coming up.

A couple more TB's opened.


Fancy Dress. Such a great grower and one I look forward to every year.

Sherbet Bomb

Aladdin's Flame Clump

Fancy Dress is a huge wow for me!

I adore luminatas. They are just...something else

Sherbet Bomb is pretty.

It's nice, holds it own, but doesn't increase fast. Seldom have to thin it.

BB Ridgecrest opened today.

It's a cold and rainy day here, there are a few more working at opening, but taking their time.

Well it was a warmer day and a couple more have opened. Rain predicted for tonight. I spent the day cutting up a tree that we cut down. I'm exhausted, but I did manage to take a few pics of today's blooms.


A better pic of Sherbet Bomb.

Temporal Anomaly Gotta love those speckles.

Can't not love Dark Universe. This one isn't fully open yet, might look better tomorrow, or it might get beat up in the rain.

Dark Universe Mine just opened, too.

A few more pictures from last evening. It was near dusk, so some of the colors are kind of muted.

Smell The Roses

Man's Best Friend

Little Chestnut

Bazinga

Fancy Dress is making quite a clump already.

Love Fancy Dress!

It's one of my favorites, always blooms and grows like crazy.
