OK friends,
thank's for warm welcome.
I'll publish my iris photos time to time.
I'ts a big pleasure to see nice iris photos in the screen when
the winter is beyond window. This winter in Lithuania is
quite cold:

The iris blloming in Lithuania starts at middle of May (MDB's & SDB's)
and finishes approximately in end of Jun. Some rebloomers bloom in
September, sometimes in October, but it depends on the temperature.
Our weather conditions not very friendly to irises, such like in Oregon,
California or Australia, but we trying to adopt as much as it possible.

About the guppies - it was my big passion (as was said in other life...)
I had thousands of guppies in approx. 2 tons of water in many aquariums
and various capacities. As I remember, it was about ten guppies lines:
reds, blues, perlamutr green, leopard coloured, silver ones etc...

Here is my another hybrid (I think Dusky Cahllenger x Titans Glory),
sorry, but there was my first experiments and I dont payd attention for
parents registration. This one has very big blooms.

Your snow pictures remind me of the Chicago area, where I was born and raised. Winter is serious business up there! Thanks for sharing, Eko.

It's a nice one, altho as I've commented before, I just can't really "love" the really lacy, frilly ones. I guess that's why the "historics" appeal to me! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!...Arlyn

I agree with you Arlen.
The really recurved edges and frills just are not my taste. I dont have lace curtains or Victorian anything so it follows.

Thank goodness there is something for everyone.

Yes -- very nice indeed. But nothing -- including Toronto, etc. -- compares to your avatar Iris, Eko. Seriously. I like it that well! nodding
