Got buds-lots of them! My gardening space has unexpectedly become so small this year, I won't have a lot of photos to post/share this year--total opposite of last year. I do not own my spaces, so am at the mercy of others' decisions, and neighbors perpetually destructive kids. (and kids will be kids as well) Do hope to get a couple photos today, and I will be doing more than usual pot(er...container) gardening this year, so that will provide some photo opportunities. I really enjoy and learn from everyone's postings.

Yay, Janice! My tall bearded iris are also budded....can't wait to see the blooms.....

Little space is better than no space so Yay for the iris's!!!

Nice! I love that color green.

more from today

Gorgeous! I loved that dark blue one you posted the other day as well! My next door neighbor has lots of Iris-all different varieties...and no trampling kids running thru them(kids are afraid of her). Iris' and Halloween decorations are her specialties. I see lots of big buds, but no blooms yet. Can't believe how late everything is this year, and now the weather forecast says cool and rainy until Monday.

Crazy weather for sure!!!

I have my kids trained not to trample

all nice but that 1st one is pretty cool

I have the wine colored one, too.....love the golden speckles on it....

nice lilies of the valley though.

Beautiful Jen! I finally have a few dwarf iris's blooming.

Here are a few ....

Love the blue & yellow one.....I have the last.....really stands out.....

Especially like the light blue with the dark blue beard

Ya does that yellow and blue one have a name?

I assume you mean this one....if yes it is "Forever Blue'

yes! Perfect name

is a perfect name.. just beautiful

finally drizzle stopped & I was able to get into the garden. First I had to list which plants had bloomed & keep an eye out for Mon. show entries. then as some grass had appeared, I squirted parts of a couple of beds with 'Grass B Gon' It's a slower process than I had thought. & that is the way that it is spelled. Will pick possible show entries late tomorrow afternoon & bring them into the house. We are also supposed to bring irises for the arrangers. Iris must predominate in the arrangements so everyone helps out.
