Oh Debra, you have lots of Iris bloom today! Thumbs up

I am really happy with a section of my front yard that I have a little "grove" of Suberian Iris planted. It now looks the way I envisioned when I started it. I added to it for three years and then just left it. Of course the plants are much more filled out now, each plant has lots more fans than when I received them. It should look really wonderful blooming this year.

Once Sibs get settled, they are really easy no fuss plants. And the blooms are so pretty. But I had a lot of troubles with new ones after planting. That is why I had to keep adding more, I would loose them that first year. Well, not all of them but many of them. Really why I didn't do more areas of the garden in Sibs, they were so tricky for me to get settled.

Becky, it was sent to me by Angie (BookerC1) in trade for a piece of that Chocolate brown in the second photo of the last post. I really like it a lot.

Paul,

How tall does Zooboomafoo bloom for you, it is registered at 14". I sure would like to try it here. Guess I'm gonna add it to my order from MAG. You need to add those beautiful pictures to the database, especially the clump shot.

Dot...I just walked out and measured.....the stalks varied from 10" to14". I have a second clump in an open bed that isn't in bloom yet. It increases well for me. I will add to data base later. Lots of empty space there Jan. Paul

Well, they are not blooming yet but they are growing. Pictures of my Siberian Iris section in the front yard. I planted some tulips I bought from Brent&Beckies in there for spring color. I also have mini glads in there for summer color. When the clumplets of Sibs bloom it is so pretty in there.

Awesome photos everyone. I have a few more in my late season here.

Secret Rites was sure hard to capture the color, this is as close as I can get, it was beautiful. And Pop Idol last but not least.

Today's photos are so wonderful. Dot, I'm glad you still have some blooming. I totally agree with your opinion of "Gypsy Lord". It's my first time seeing it, so I went to look at the database info. It's stunning. So many wonderful photos of it. I think it's a must have for me.

Paul, I love Drama Queen and Secret Rites. Your's and Dot's photo of it are stunning.

I just had to look up Secret RItes and found this clump shot, WOW!
