Here is a clump shot of IB Midnight Sharp. It has been blooming since March 23. It is a very satisfactory iris!


Classic Suede just opened today.

Midnight Sharp is so pretty!

Serjio - Again I say, dramatic!

Another mysterious, haunting bloom! Wow!

Andrea, you should add that picture of Midnight Sharp to the database. Nice clump shot!

Laurie, Thank you - I'll do that.

This iris was unlabeled, unfortunately.. This is probably a iris kirkwoodiae of Syrian origin or a hybrid based on it.

Absolutely gorgeous, Sergey!

SDB Blueberry Tart opened up for me. First year bloom.

Monty, that's beautiful!

A few more irises are open after the rain and cold. MDB Dubs.

Do any of yours grow way out of their class size?

Beautiful, Andrea!

TB Daughter of Stars - totally worth the wait!

SDB Be Bold

I should have more SDB's open tomorrow, depending on the weather.
One last picture before all of the petals start falling off.


The view from my front porch glider.

Great to see that the 2024 Iris blooms are getting underway. I am anxious to see what blooms for me this year. So looking forward to seeing what is blooming in all your gardens.

Nothing blooming here yet. I am feeling swellings for bloom stalks.
My sister in WA is posting lots of blooms so my Mom can see them and get information from my other sister to make sure what she has. This is season 2 since we moved Mom's garden from MA westward.

Three more SDB's opened today. First off is Puddy Tat.


Lovesick Blues


This is a bonus sent by Sutton's with the name of Burnt Bronze. It looks nothing like their pictures of it. I emailed them attempting to find the true identity of this one.

I was looking through their catalog and discovered that Minor Love looks like it. I will have to fix the name on the sign.

My first iris to bloom.

Blue Hues

Isn't that lovely!

Teresa - Oh how I LOVE Blue Hues. Performed super well for me. Looks like a big clump!

Monty, yes and I always look forward to seeing that first bloom of the year! Here below is a gifted Noid but I love it anyway. Any guesses on a ID?

Blue Hues needs a clump shot in the database---this would be a lovely picture to add.
