Posted on Oct 13, 2019 5:21 PMMy first newbie for this season has bloomed 
. This is sdb Acid Print [Blyth 1991]. It is more vibrant and prettier than the photos of it in iris Wiki

I love it even though the falls didn't uncurl properly.

I bought sdb Open Your Eyes [Black 2010] a couple of years ago when Tempo Two closed down. It has produced a nice clump but I only got one bloom. I think it is the truest dark blue irises I have.
I also purchased sdb Buttered [Barry Blyth 2012] when Tempo Two closed down. This is a lovely bright yellow that demands attention. I love the contrasting blue beards.
My first bloom had 3 branches all around the same height which looked a bit crowded.

One of my favourite irises isn't an iris at all. It's called Moraea Aristata and is commonly known as Peacock Iris.
I think the spent blooms are beautiful too.
My dutch irises are putting on a nice show. This is Telstar and a NoID.
