It won't be long, Mary Ann! Another one converted to the "iris-o-holics". How much room do you have now, Cameron? What's your favorite color? Are there any vacant lots for sale near you ?....remember !...we are here to help !! ...Arlyn

Thanks for being enablers LOL. I guess my next project will be making an iris bed on the side of my house. I'll have to start out very small of course I really like the peach and blue colored irises. I went outside today and my iris bloom opened up more. I just love it and fragrance is very nice, its very subtle and I can actually smell it a couple of feet away.

....Arlyn

I'll keep everyone posted on the other bearded iris too.

It's just lovely!! And a wonderful way to begin your Iris Adventure!!!

Thanks Mary Ann! There's another bud about to open but its towards the bottom of the flower stalk.

How pretty, Cameron!

Thanks Debra! I think I've gone outside 10 times just to admire it lol

I do that, too.

Only ten ? Do you happen to know your pretty iris' name ? When you get your iris bed ready, be sure to let us know!.....Arlyn

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that Arlyn the lady never told me the name of the iris.

There's nothing wrong with NOID (no i.d.) iris...they are just as pretty as the ones with a "moniker"....and usually MUCH cheaper !! ....Arlyn

You're right about it be cheaper. I got it for $1 at a local plant sale.

Great deal!

I hope there is another plant sale this year.

Well Cameron, that's how we all got started. First one or two, then four or five more, then another bed, or two, or 10 Get your self ready for the ride of your life! It's fun though, and we'll be here to make sure you don't fall off the wagon! There are some good people on here, and you will enjoy this group.

Thanks Tom! I'll try not to fall off the wagon Everyone is so friendly here.

I just discovered my first stalk for the year. Yippee!

Cameron, really looking forward to seeing what else you have.

My neighbor has very early purple irises that start their bloom lat March, early April. Anybody know what that might be? Tall bearded. I can walk over and get pics if needed.

Wow that's wonderful Celia!

The second flower opened up today.
