It snowed several inches yesterday and my Son did my drive way. 5 more inches this morning so I'll be home bound again today. Your pictures help to brighten the day.

We have about 10-25cm snow cover, but today temperature became +3C (3 weeks it was about -12C)
We are driving all winter using winter tyres (it's obligatory till spring)
Iris photos cooling our hearts, it's true

My favorite IB is "Honey Glazed", it's so bright! I'll have to check out "protocol, too!...Arlyn

thanks crowrita1

We have grown some of them. I love Protocol.

Very nice!

I have grown most of the ones you listed, but since I now hybridize I prefer BB and other medians as TB because of fertility. IB unless pod is harder to get crosses on for me.

I am working more and more on MTB and having a little better luck with those

Then there is the seedling which I thought should be a BB. However because of the size of the flower & am thinking about registering it as an IB. Blooms early BB season or late IB season so it should be all right. No photo, I'm afraid as it is still on a slide & my printer will not scan slides.

Welcome to ATP!! and it's so nice to see your lovely images here! I too am especially drawn to the bright cheerful blooms of Protocol.

Please make sure you add all these beautiful photos to the database, you can even directly import them here from this thread by enlarging the images and following the link to import to database. If any of them are missing, a new entry can easily be created for you, just let either Polly or Dee know (or even I can do that as I love working in the database!)

I have Honey Glazed too, Eko. I moved it last summer, and I see that frost heave has shoved the rhizomes above the ground. So I don't know if it will bloom this year.

Very good pictures it is nice to see some of the smaller ones

All are eye catcher, nice collection. Thanks for sharing
