Gorgeous, Sue! What is the tall blue flower towards the back, which of course will not grow here, LOL.

Sue, beautiful, the yellow & blue combo is stunning.

Polly, that great true blue backdrop bloom has become one of my favorite plants! Anchusa azurea

WOW!

I have Drama Queen growing behind it, don't care for the color combo, need a tall warm color there, something that looks good with that blue, so DQ will get moved this year.

Today's new blooms:

Gitano


Restless Heart


Afternoon in Rio


Thornbird

Wonderful Iris and stunning photos!! Thank you for all the time.

What a gorgeous garden you have Sue. It looks like perfection to me.

Gitano is one of my favorites, Just really enjoying all the pictures while I wait for mine to bloom, I thinks the wait will be a while since it's turned colder again.

It was a short summer, wasn't it ,Tom ?! Wehad 2 days mid 80's, and now they want flurries and freezing temps at night ...Arlyn

Oh -- I'm so glad it's Paul Black. That one was gifted to me last year, and it's got a bloom stalk!!

'Paul Black' is a wonderful grower.

Like Tom, my iris are just recovering from the long winter, the 4 days of summer, and now it's "November" again. Keep the photos coming! ~Jan

Gorgeous Paul as usual. I have a question though, why do you plant your shorter SDB's behind the talls? I'm sure you have a good reason lol.

Dot...the UIS has an early informal show and I like to compete. Some of the Salt Lake Valley gardens have bloomer earlier than I do in my open beds so to have some for the show I planted some little ones against the foundation where it is warmer and they bloom earlier. We had this show last Monday and I had about 20 specimens. We don't give ribbons but the judges pick the best 3. Let me brag a little...I had best with Star Woman and 2nd best with Raspberry Ice. Best Specimen wins a 2013 SDB.

way to go, Paul !! ...Arlyn

Look what I found in my barn this morning! Actually I got to watch the whole delivery, which is unusual. Started at 4:15 a.m., and was here at 4:45. Standing about 30 minutes later. She's really strong and correct. It was a nice thing to happen, as last night I had to have a 2 year old put down. He jumped a fence and fell and broke his hip.
