The littles just keep on coming this year!

A surprise to absolutely no one would be that Inner Space is one of my absolute favorite dwarf iris. It is so cuddly cute with the round form and soft coloring.

Blyth's IB Tickle The Ivories finally had horns this year! Pretty blue ones even.

This dwarf has to be the slowest grower on the planet but I still love it. Never have more than one bloom at a time, but each bloom is so cheery.
Here Come The Clowns (or Clown in my case).

Very Nice things happening in the Carolinas!!!

Gabe: I love your Pumpkin Patch Rose. I have never seen a Rose that color. Also your Sorbonne is beautiful. I would say it was worth the wait!!!

Leslie: I agree, Ton Of Fun is very beautiful. I like the contrast of the colors of the Pansy face and the rest of the falls. Also your Inner Space and Going In Circles are real standouts.

Debbie: I like that orange shade on Rock Band. That is a beautiful bloom!!!
If you think there is no more beauty left in the world...Plant a garden!!!

Thanks, Guys. TBs Autumn Ring and Rock Band are rebloomers. I hope I see them again this fall. BTW, so is IB Double Overtime. Thanks again for that one Dirt. It's really purple. Hurray!

Thanks, It really is, and it may be the only broken color iris I have. I may have to fix that.

Here are some of the medians that bloomed:

Nice ones Deborah. I especially like your little ones. Lovey dubby


I don't think your Cantina is in fact Cantina:



Wrong beard colour and a bit too much yellow on the falls of yours?
