Another favorite dark is BLACK MAGIC WOMAN


A pretty dwarf that I am looking forward to seeing is BIG BLUE EYES


BLUEBERRY BLISS does well.

I really like Black Magic Woman and Blueberry Bliss, too. They both have performed well for me.

Some of my favorites starting with "B" are:

Berserk





Boundless - This subtly colored beauty blooms early and then reblooms.

Ballerina Queen

Barbara My Love

I really like BERSERK'S bright orange beard. I am drawn to those for some reason.

Nice ones Tom. This thread may be dangerous to my pocket book.

This is one that I added last year from Iris City Gardens. I love the pictures on here. I hope it does well.

1. Butterfly Affair

2. Blues Clues


Ahh Hah. I think I see a pattern above!

Edited to add two more I thought of:
3. Beauty Within

4. Bahama Blues

EV: I really really love your Blue Oasis pic.

Just love this one:
I'm hoping I see this one this year if not I might go :
Another favorite❤️

I think I am going berserk, over BERSERK lol. Lovely one, BRAVERY has been on my Wish List a while too.

Barbara: Ohhh I forgot about Bravery but yes, it is amazing!!!!

Here are two more irises with a "B" that I really like.

BON APPETIT - I just love these colors



BLOWING KISSES -

- I'm hoping I will see this one in a catalog one day

Wow, BLACK SUITED sure does look totally black. Most of my dark ones have a purple undertint.

The gophers got my Black Suited. I'll be looking to buy it this year.

Burst of Joy
Brazen Beauty
Better than Butter
Beauty Becomes Her
Born This Way
Born This Way is really more peachy than this photo shows and more violet than purple. I haven't gotten a good photo of it recently.

Hi, Jane That is a nice group, my favorite I think is BORN THIS WAY.

Looking thru my Bs, I had forgotten BRILLIANT IDEA. I just love the bright beard on it!

Better than Butter was outstanding in its first year bloom. Thank you Andrea!

I didn't mention that B is also for "broken", which I find fascinating as each bloom is different from the previous bloom.

I'm really glad it did well for you, Evelyn. I was going to list it among my favorite "B" irises and forgot.
