Not to be flippant, but is there a purpose for this list? There are quite a few posters who only show up during bloom time.

Fair question. I'm a member of a dirt racing forum and hundreds of people post on it daily. I'm relatively new here and it seems that not too many people post and I was just curious as to how many folks actually do post, that's all. Curiosity is what got me started growing irises in 1990, so it's a good thing.

Yellow was/has been the first to bloom -- in past 5yrs.
Live like every day as it is your last because one day -- it will be.

This isn't a dress-rehearsal ~

Welcome, Megan! Welcome!

Peggy, if I may, do you know what your tan and the purple/white in the lower right are? I am trying to solve some of my noid mysteries, and these two look so similar.
TB 'Starting Fresh' blooming for me in May of 2022. It bloomed for a week and a half with nine buds.
