OK, it's mostly cloudy here today, but I had about a 30 second window of sunshine.
Here's Two Thumbs Up in the sun.

While I was waiting for the sun to peak through the clouds, I noticed Boo had bloomed. Last year it bloomed on May 3.

beautiful Tom

The fourfer of yours looks like it could be 'Chubby Cheeks'.

Not only people give others signs, but plants do too.

Thanks for the sun shot Tom. Really a nice looking iris!

It is the same color as Chubby Cheeks, but a different pattern.

Chubby Cheeks is also a late bloomer, Unwritten is early.

Chubby was a mid bloom for me, but my whole season is out of wack this year!

Casper's Shadow opened now. This one is a grower for sure.

Only a few of the little ones in the outlying beds are showing some buds, yet I have several TB's near the house that are putting up stalks. It's going to be interesting to see how this season unfolds. We sure need rain here.

A few more open this morning.
Gizmo The Gremlin

Baby Blessed

Café Mocha

Casper's Shadow clump

There are more, but first attempts at pictures failed, so I'll have to re-take them.

Casper's Shadow does well for me. I haven't divided it since I got it and it's always been a vigorous grower.

It grows so fast here, I have to thin it every year.
I got one more iris picture to turn out, but it has a smudge on the fall that I couldn't remove.

'Baby Blessed' is also very pretty. I lost all of 'Baby Blessed' along with almost an entire clump of 'Chubby Cheeks' from rain rot when we got a lot of rain one year. Only a small rhizome is left of Chubby Cheeks. Both looked really good together in partial shade.
