Thanks Leslie, Bugsy is more yellow then my camera showed. It was nearly sunset when I took the pictures, so the colors are kind of muted. I can send some Bugsy if you want some, it's a good grower here.

Nice looking littles, Tom. I can't find my Cat's Eye. I must have lost it. I don't have Casper's Shadow or Bugsy and I moved What Again in the fall, so it probably won't bloom.

You will enjoy it. Smiling I have several more that opened today, but with 45 MPH winds, pictures aren't going to happen. Maybe tomorrow if they aren't all beat up.

As I was trying to take pictures, Tiger would get in front of the camera, Guess he wanted some attention, so I took his picture and put him on my shoulders as I went around looking at the irises. He was happy then. Hilarious!

A lot of new ones today, some were too messed up by the wind yesterday, so I'll have to wait for a later bloom.
Sparks Fly is such a good grower.

Those beards really make Cafe Mocha stand out. Most impressive in a clump.

That only shows half the clump, it's gotten out of hand, I'll need to reduce that one by a lot. It's growing into it's neighbors. Hilarious!

I got a kick out of your picture of Gingy. That one is a grower and a half so your picture shows it's true nature!! Think it should be renamed Gingerbread MEN instead of Man. You never have just one.
