Nice shots, everyone! Tell me more about Canadian Kisses, Paul. Does it grow well for you?...Arlyn

Paul -- I just love your *Experiment*!!

And thanks to Paul's avatar -- I ordered *Gypsy Lord* last year and guess what?? -- it's going to bloom for me!! Can't wait to see it in person!

I also got Secret Rites last year, but haven't seen a bloom stalk on it yet. Yes -- that clump shot is out of this world -- I recognized Brad's photography immediately!!

Arlyn....Canadian Kisses grows well for me. It is not a "flashy" iris but is gently beautiful and I love it. Mary Ann...I love Experiment also and have a few seedlings out of it. You'll love Gypsy Lord and Secret Rites.

drooling...

Paul, that bed is not even two years old. I am hoping for lotsa growth from the ones I have But I am planning another bed nearby this spring/ summer... problem is, I want to stick daylilies in there too. last time I did that, I ended up separating the daylilies and iris. It was a good idea in theory to put them together, but the differing water requirements meant that neither did great and they are all much happier being segregated. So I am trying to figure out how I want to plan things to separate them, and which end gets which.... ~Jan

Secret Rites caught my eye . Nice photos all.

Hurray, I have a bud coming on my SDB Shindig! It's near the house. My really tiny one called Pussy Toes, that ususally is the first to bloom, has nothing showing yet. Might be taking a year off.

Gypsy Lord is awesome, still blooming here.

Decandence


Hawaiian Rain


Paul Black


Eyedazzler, an IB

Very, very nice, all of them.

Jan-plant the iris and daylillys in "clumps or sections" within the bed. You get the same affect and can water they different areas as needed.

Paul Black is absolutely beautiful!! I got it last year -- it's going to bloom for me!!

Paul, that first seedling is really nice!

Thanks Tom

My first bearded iris of the spring, Forever Blue:



It's usually the first to bloom in my garden, but I was still surprised to see it, haven't even seen buds on any of the others.

It was nearly 90 degrees here yesterday and is supposed to snow tonight.

Has anyone ever seen a wierder Spring????

Everyone's blooms

Have not, Mary Ann
