I'm definitely excited. I've been outside three times already checking on its progress LOL. Hopefully the skinny stalk one isn't too far behind the other one. I'll definitely post pictures once both open.

Oh Cameron I know just how you feel. The first and last thing I do each day - and many times in between - is check on the bloom progress. When it is cold and windy and I cant get out of doors I have a fine little pair of binoculars and I go from room to room and from window to window counting buds and noting what has opened.

Bonnie if I had a good window view I'd do the same thing Sometimes I go out in cold and windy weather just to see what's new in my garden lol.

So do I unless a spring cold or bronchitis keeps me from the cold wind then it is out with the binoculars. lol We are waiting for you blooms to open too.

That's why I wish I had lots of windows so I could view my small garden even on bitterly cold days. Even if my gardens dormant, I'd still like to see what birds I have in my yard. I went outside a few moments ago and one petal opened. It has candy scent too.

Looking good, Cameron!

Thanks Bonnie! I'll post more pictures once it fully opens.

I think its fully opened

Is this your first year for this Iris Plume? Seems like those falls should open further -- uncurl, also.

Yea Cameron! Beautiful! The falls may relax a little by tomorrow. It is lovely.

Mary Ann this is the first year. Thanks Bonnie, tomorrow I'll see if the falls relax a little. I checked a moment ago and the falls are still curled. This is the first time I've grown a bearded iris so I guess my statement about it being fully open was premature

No kidding? Your very first bearded Iris? Oh my -- I remember my first one too. How exciting!!

I kind of went overboard with the pics, but I was so happy to have my first bearded iris bloom.

Cameron you will have to go some to beat me going overboard when it comes to irises. If you only knew. keep taking and posting pictures.

Thanks Bonnie I'm looking forward to the iris with the thinner flower stalk to bloom.

I'm enjoying your pics tremendously. I don't care how many you post! Irises were my first plant purchase for our new home 10 years ago. They go so well with everything.

Thanks Celia! Now that my iris is blooming, I want more in my garden

I sense another "Iris Addict" in the making ! ....Arlyn

LOL the last thing I need is another plant addiction

Well YAHHHHHHHH -- of course you want more in your garden!! Don't we all??? Spot on, Arlyn!!
