A few more pics.

Raspberry Jam.


Decorum, a dependable bloomer here.


Enchanted Princess, another one from Bonne. You can see that she has added a lot to my collection of little ones.


Swish, a gift from Dirt.


KooKoo another gift from Dirt.


Rabbit's Foot, another Dirt gift.


Cosmos, and old timer.


Alamo Joe, always does well here.


Irish Harp, another gift from Bonnie.


Rainbow Rim, another gift from Bonnie.
Well, I better gut busy here.

wonderful collection and pictures of littles, tom.

Enjoying your pictures, Tom. I was out in the garden just now and discovered that a critter, most likely a deer had pulled Flash Mob entirely out of the ground, and chomped off the bloom stem as well. Now I know a cutworm didn't do that, so now I expect that the same animal probably was responsible for chomping off my Celebration Song bloom stem, and then spitting it out onto the ground. I need to get back out there with a trowel and re-plant Flash Mob.

Back in from replanting Flash Mob. And while I was doing it, I found a fresh pile of deer poop just about 5 feet away from the scene of the crime.

Thanks for the nice comments. It's so darn hot and humid that I can't get much done outside. Sure drains the energy from me. Sorry to hear the darn deer are attacking the irises. They usually take a bite and then spit it out cause they don't like the taste.

Yes, but the fawns apparently have to learn that irises taste nasty.

Lookin' pretty good, up there, Tom !

Thanks Arlyn, I still have some pictures to post. The Earl is showing a lot of color, so I expect the first TB to open tomorrow or the next day. Many of the TB's near the house have stalks, the ones out farther are not there yet. Boy taking pictures and uploading them sure can eat up the time. We're getting rain this evening, got a nice amount I'd guess. That will make the lawn grow, and give me more things to do. Just what I need.

Yoda bloomed, really cute.


Rainbow Rim, Such a nice one and a good grower too. Gift from Bonnie.


Another gift from Bonnie.


You guessed it, another Bonnie gift.


Easter, always so sweet and never fails to bloom.


Aladdin's Flame clump, and look at that weird one on the right side. You guessed it, an accidental seedling. Here's a better view of it.

It will hit the dust once it's finished blooming.


Pause is a cute one, it has rebloomed here once.


Maui Sunrise, another Bonnie gift.


Vavoom, so bright and shiny, and a gift from Bonnie.



Overcast making a nice clump this year. You can see I have a lot of dividing to do.


Pippi Longstocking really going to town.



Bonjour, not sure if it's a BB or an intermediate, the database doesn't say. It always blooms and grows well here.


Gate To Paradise, alway blooms and grows well.

Wow!

ooooh my! lovelies.

I'm astonished at how many lovely SDBs you have, Tom!

Are the SDBs the bulk of your collection, or do you have the same number (or more) of TBs?

Just curious.

I have way more TB's then little ones.

Some more open this morning. Also some I've been trying to get good pictures of, and finally got some. It's overcast this morning, so the colors come out more correct I think.

But first I'm going to have some of these cream cheese filled lemon muffins I made with a cup of coffee.



Oh dear, I'm going to have to take the rest of these over to the neighbor or I'll gain 5 Lbs.

First another picture of Unwritten, the later blooms are looking more ruffled then the first ones, so I took another picture.


And the lilacs are in bloom, oh they smell so great.



Serendipity Elf, another Bonnie gift.



Mordor with it's amazing beards.


Feel The Heat, looking pretty hot!


Stop And Stare, a gift from Dirt. Such a nice one.


Drambuie, another Bonnie gift. Love the earthtones.



Girl Power, a new one from Thomas Johnson that I got last year. Really cute, and love the color of the beard.




Plamka, such a cutie.



Speak No Evil, a great grower and some nice ruffles too.


Robin's Nest, boy you can't believe how many pictures of this one I had to take to get one that looked like the flower. Seems like the camera likes to play games with this one. This is such a cute one too, and another gift from Bonnie.


Blazing Garnet, another one that I have to thin every year. Love it.


Frankenberry, another one that required many tries with the camera to get the color right. I guess the overcast sky worked best.


It's Not Over, another great grower.

Well that's all the irises for now, Woops wait a minute here comes the Earl.

Earl Of Essex, a gift from Arlyn. This one will re-bloom some years here.

Looks like my TB season is about to get under way.

I like those beards on Girl Power, too. Tom Johnson and Paul Black have done so much wonderful work on getting lovely contrasting beards onto their irises.

I have Girl Power on order, and your photo makes me even more glad that I do!

GIRL POWER is nice! Many other nice ones, too!

And over your muffins!

Gee, I think I'm getting dyslexic in my old age. Girl Power, not Power Girl.

Me too! Your flowering trees look beautiful too.

A few more pictures to share.

Peppito is such cute little one.


Route Sixty-six.


Casper's Shadow, grows fast and always blooms.


Reddy Set, another good one created by our Lucy.
