Tall Bearded Iris Garden

This is my Tall Bearded Iris Garden from which I get my user "name" TBGDN. Unfortunately the photo for the banner was taken in 2009. Years of down-sizing have left this garden with just a fraction of its original size.

That is the hard part of downsizing a garden. With a lot of hand wringing I kept about a dozen from that garden. Among the keepers were Dusky Challenger, Elizabeth Poldark, Shepherd's Delight, Silverado, Lenten Prayer, Yaquina Blue, Vanity, Gypsy Romance, Sunshine & Snow, Splashacata and a "few" others. Of course I still have two other iris gardens with SDB's & Some BB's. Whistling It is a difficult thing to downsize. Thumbs down

Leon,

Dusky Challenger was one of my favorites when I grew it 10 years ago. Gorgeous color.

Wonderful pics. Thumbs up
