I think it might be SDB 'Sprite's Nightingale.' I may order from Stout just to see if it matches this one.

Whatever it is, it is lovely!

Nice blooms! I agree with Tom that your "Color" looks to be Irish Harp. Color doesn't have the markings. ( Of the two, I really like Irish Harp better in my garden.) And Blueberry Tart was my thought for your mystery iris too.
Beautiful picture of Crystal Ship.

May can't get here fast enough so we can see our minies.

Irish Harp varies a lot from year to year, and garden to garden I think.

New in the garden today.

This made me giggle. In CO we haven't even had tulips yet.

Barbara,

Our tulips have pretty much come and gone. Mostly what's left are species tulips.

Still Going Strong

Gone or All But Gone








And the doubles and parrot tulips were no shows this year. The bigger tulips did not look that great. I haven't planted tulips in a few years. I think this coming fall I will do a tulip update.

Just daffs here. We don't grow tulips because of the deer.

We have deer here as well, but they hang out at our neighbor's house along with the bear. The coyotes hang out at my house along with the rabbits.

Interesting segregation of wildlife

Beautiful gardens Mary!

This was so funny!!!

Beautiful Irises and tulips Ladies!!!

Rabbits and coyotes? Well, I guess that is more garden-friendly than just the rabbits? Or rabbits and deer!

Tulips only last a year here so I would have to be planting them all the time. Too bad because they are so lovely. The pictures of yours Mary are gorgeous.

Leslie, try Darwin hybrids. They perennialize better. The triumph tulips don't at all! I learned that the hard way to my chagrin after hubby and I planted 250 triumph tulips. Gorgeous the first year and then nothing. What a dreadfull mistake. But our Darwin hybrids have lasted and multiplied.

Try species. The are more dainty and smaller, but they last and naturalize nicely.

Tulips are squirrel food here, I can't keep any of them very long, I suppose if I wanted to fuss, I could put down a layer of chicken wire.
