What are/were your 3 latest irises to bloom this year?

Mine were (this year) Optic Overload, Brilliance and You're the One.

These two bloomed on May 14.





Sussudio's last flower was fried on May 31, when it was 89 degrees.

French Lilacs bloomed on June 4 after everything else was done. It gets late afternoon shade.

Last year my last 3 named irises to bloom were

Leslie ~ What about your last 3 bearded irises?

Well...it looks like ANOTHER one is late to the party.
Don't Stop Believing just put out a small bloom.

Sorry, not a very good picture. Maybe tomorrow it will look better.

Some of my irises want to stay and have been blooming for a while, but the first two are, I think, first blooms in my garden. I'll have to check if they've bloomed here before. Photos taken today. Half a dozen or more are still blooming.

TEN OF HEARTS
- This is a fantastic big bloom, first opened a day or so ago this season.

WONDERS NEVER CEASE - I'm partial to white standards over colorful falls.




SECRET PAST - just keeps blooming - first year blooming.

Jan ~ Those 3 are beautiful. What others are still blooming for you now?

Thanks, Ev. They were late surprises..I especially love Ten of Hearts. I'll check for 3 more tomorrow.

I've not been home much in recent days and so I missed the last of my iris blooms. I also cut many stalks of the late flowering irises to decorate burial sites on Memorial Day. But I noted that Wonders Never Cease had quite a few buds still developing at the beginning of the month.

What a very nice thing to do - a good idea for all of us!

My late bloomers:

Very nice collection of late bloomers. I every one of them. I need more late ones in my garden.

Game Changer has put on a valiant effort to be the Last Iris Standing!

Photo taken this morning - just about all others are gone.

Jan ~ That is a beauty! Thank you for sharing your stars of The Late Show!

Game Changer is a very colorful iris!

Thanks Ev and Laurie!
