Beautiful.

You might want to check your Bride's Halo. Have you ever had Joyce Terry?

I've been mystified by this (Bride's Halo) for a while. When I purchased it a LONG time ago it really did look like the Bride's Halo in your picture. As years went by, it changed to what you saw in my picture. I never did own Joyce Terry. I'm going to put notes in my records that it could be Joyce Terry. I think I bought it from a local garden center (Jung's). It died after a couple years (because it was before I knew the right way to care for iris). Then I purchased it again, I think from Schreiner's. I don't recall when I noticed the color change.

I'm glad I've posted so many pictures here. I'm learning that I may have more NOID's than I thought.

I bought 5 irises from Jung's when I was starting to collect some, they got 3 of them right. Then when I called for replacements, the two new ones were also wrong. I think they sub contract their iris sales to some place like Breck's or something like that.

Here are several more:
Marshmallow Frosting (sib. iris) Can never get the white to show up good in a photo.
Ring Around Rosie
Owyhee Desert
Up In Flames (thanks Tom)

Pretty sure that's all Folks
Today I started cutting out the spent stalks.

If you're on a smartphone, try tapping on the bloom itself. If you're using a point-and-shoot camera, see if there is manual exposure setting, then reduce the exposure a notch or two.

I looked at my camera and found it has three exposure settings. For this pic it was set to +/0.3
+/0.3
+/0.7
+/1.0
I don't know too much about this camera. It takes good pictures. If a picture comes out bad...it's operator error.
I should play around with it to see if I can get better.

Sounds familiar!

for the photos Sue

One more photo. It's Gypsy Romance with a creepy bug on it. Eyed Elater. This is only the 2nd time I've seen it in the garden. First time was last year. He's twice the size this year. Totally creeped me out.

Sue ~ Did you squish him?

No....no way I wanted to get any closer than to take his picture.

I looked him up. He's a beneficial insect predators. He's one of the good guys. Don't kill him.
