I think this is "Aunt Lucy". I am asking my source because I can't find a photo from two years ago!

San Fransico is a classic !! I've a favor to ask, Greg. Please tke a look at this one. Do you know it ? I think it's MAYBE a Ghio, but I'm not sure. We don't even remember where it came from, let alone the name !....ArlynThumb of 2013-05-29/crowrita1/fc3745

Greg -- I love it that your give us several shots of each bloom. Gives the impression of being able to walk around the flower and examine it in detail. Thanks for that.

I got *Accessible* last year, but it didn't bloom this year. Something to look forward to -- it's just beautiful!!!

I agree with Mary Ann, and it sure is hard to wait another year isn't it???

Thanks everyone. I like to take different shots to show different perspectives of the bloom. I try to take six plus of each one. Every so often, I get a real winner of a picture. I much prefer the straight on shot of the iris or slightly above. I take the side view because alot of folks prefer that view, but I don't like that one much.

Arlyn-Not a clue about your iris. I think my brain has got a short circut when it comes to the irises lately. Case in point. I took pictures yesterday of "Be Original". It was tagged in the garden as "Raven's Quote", which it obviously is not. But when I saw it (Be Original) it did not immediately jump at me as to the name. I had to look it up in my database and come up with a name. Once I did, I had to go back to last years pictures to verify it was indeed "Be Original". Really???? Recognition should have been instantanously achieved. Growing old is a bi**h!!!!!

I am going to re-post my early stuff that I posted to other threads here on my thread. It is too hard to tell others unfamiler with our site all of the locations they may be at. One place makes it MUCH easier! Enjoy again for those that saw them the first time and if this is the first view for you, these are the early bloomers.
