My Cherry tree is in bloom as well.

Tom, check out the photos of 'Lemon Rings' on the wiki site as a possible ID to your NOID.

My Yellow NOID clump shot.

Lemon Rings looks very close to me.

It does look a lot like that. I doubt that I can find any to confirm it though, but thanks for the information.

Some more of the little ones have opened today. Some still need to relax a bit before pictures, but here's a few.


This is Fancy Sparkler, Full afternoon sun, it rained earlier in the day. A great grower. Showing a lot of diamond dust.

This is Woody Woodpecker.

Bluebeard's Ghost, always performs well.

Two Thumbs Up, A great grower here.

What Again, a nice little one, grows well and sometimes reblooms.

I went out before sunset to take more pictures because there was T storms in the forecast. We need the rain, but it passed us by so far, but here are the pictures of more of the blooms. I now have TB stalks showing, and I'm just beginning my season of the little ones.


This is Jive, A gift from Bonnie, I sure miss here fun posts. This little one sure grows nice and always blooms.

Baby Blessed, a gift from Arlyn, always blooms and re-blooms. Grows fast too.

Oregon Pay Dirt, a gift from Dirt, is a rapid grower and cute.

Gizmo The Gremlin, showing more color saturation then in the past, a great grower and fun iris.

Pippi Longstocking, one I've had a very long time, a cutie, and an excellent grower. Shows more yellow if photographed in the sun.

Burano, a gift from Dirt, another very good grower here.

Some of these will look better today as they will have relaxed some and finished opening, but as I said, I was concerned about the weather. The petals are falling from the cherry tree, that would be the white dots in some of the pictures.

My pear tree is in bloom now.

Wowza, your littles have exploded. Love it!

Tom, are your cherry and pear tree fruit bearers? What type?

A few more pictures from today. It's really hot and dry, some that opened yesterday are wilting already.


Eye Bright is so very bright, you sure can't miss it in the garden.

I think this little bloom on Brevity has exploded!

Alaia just opened everything at once.

Oregon Pay Dirt makes a nice clump.

Cafe Mocha is such a good grower, and a nice little one.

A better picture of Jive.

First time seeing Saperlipopette, but I have no idea how to pronounce it. A gift from Debra.

Fido, so cute I think.

Didzej growing nicely.

Just Sassy, a tiny little mite.

Sah-per-lih-pop-ette is how I'd pronounce that... probably.

Wonderful littles, Tom. Makes me jealous that I have so few.

The cherry tree is a Montmorency, and yes it's a tart cherry to eat, not tree a for decoration.

The Pear tree is a Dwarf Seckel Pear. I got it because it doesn't need another pear tree for pollination. I don't need two trees full of pears, I'd never be able to use them. It's a very smooth and sweet pear, great for fresh eating, not so good for canning. They turn very mushy when canned.
Great when poached in wine though.

I never have to spray it, it's really resistant to disease and insects.

Tom, do you make cherry pies with your Montmorencies?

Sometimes.

Oh my!

And now I have a hankerin for some pie

mmmmmm. i'm ready for desert, but haven't had dinner, yet.

Wow! That's a beautiful pie, Tom!

I can (almost) smell it! Mmmm...and some vanilla ice cream on top! YUM!

That was a pic of last year's pie, it's long gone. I hadn't deleted the picture yet.
