Posted a photo of cheddar cheese PCI to get it in the database and a couple of hours later got a much better photo. Don't want to post it today because it might be confusing. But here is the new photo, should I add it on another day?

Do you ever wonder if you have too

Post them. The more pictures of a variety, the better.

TB 'Starting Fresh' blooming for me in May of 2022. It bloomed for a week and a half with nine buds.

I would definitely post it Richard.

Richard, we're getting anxious to see it.

Barbara, I hope it's worth the wait. Want to wait until the flood of photos settles down a bit. Right now, I'm enjoying Mellie's tour of the Netherlands bulb industry. So many amazing tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, amaryllis, etc.

That sounds interesting, do you have a link for it?

Nice iris Richard!

You still need to post the rest of your images??

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

I agree with the above. Post it. I've noticed that many of my iris look different from when they first open to how they look 6 to 24 hours later. It's nice to be able to see images of the full range.

I apologize as I don't check on the forums very often. Here are the two images of Cheddar Cheese 5 hours apart. I was going to declare Cheddar Cheese the most beautiful PCI I've seen until my Wilder Ranch opened. I'm still new to PCI's and I'm starting to realize I have decades of Ghio hybrids to learn about and admire.
