Not old at all. I think 3 years.

I have a few blooming this year, mostly younger clumps, 1-2 years. The blooms are very special. I planted China Spring 2 months ago because your clump is so impressive. I really like 'Pleasures of May'. Beautiful colors and delicate, airy form. I can't wait until that clump matures.

China Spring is a very good grower for me. I am surprised at how nicely it has increased. And always the first of the Siberians to bloom for me.

Be sure they are in their final place. Siberians are the dickens to move after 3 years.

Not going to move any of mine!

Here be Dragons, much more blue here than most photos I've seen.

Beautiful, Evan. Just so pretty.

Thanks. Here's Lavender Fair. Hopefully next year the bloom stalks will reach normal height.

So are yours, Rita!! Enjoying seeing them all!

Rita, do you have the name of this one? They're all sweet but I think this would look nice with Silver Edge.

This one is Pleasures of May? I don't know how to reply to a post here. I click on "quote" and then delete the blurb. I'm sure there is a direct way to do it but I am not seeing it.

Hi caitlin, you can post a reply at the bottom of the thread where it says Post a reply to Irises forum: Siberian Iris blooms, under Your message:

I don't know the names of them anymore sorry. The tags are either lost or buried. I just wanted them to look nice blooming anyway. I have a large garden and it is getting impossible to keep up with tags.

With all the pictures of the thousands of plants posted I can only imagine. You were more than successful as they do look pretty.

Careless Sally, you can see the similar blurry veining in the falls as with Charming Billy her son.

A few SPEC-X; Ally Oops and Gerald Darby

and a versi Mint Fresh

Those are all beautiful, Evan. One of these days I will try a spec-x.

I need to dig up the tag because I'm not sure what this is. The color is darker and more purple than in my photos, closest to the upper right bloom in the 2nd photo..

A very pretty one.
