Samba Queen is great, I looked at that one too, but passed. Now I'll be having nightmares till I buy it.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Your irises are all gorgeous but if I had to pick it would be Clear Blue Sky and Rayos Adentro. Those two are just perfect flowers.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

For me it would be Samba Queen and Captain Thunderbolt! I'm really loving those stripes on the falls, this year!!

All beautiful! I ordered Picture book this year because of your pictures! Also ordered Golden Panther. I don't think my Captain Thunderbolt is going to bloom this year, it might, but I have my doubts. Rayos Adentro is really nice, and of course Samba Queen has me drooling!

Paul, you have a beautiful collection! Rayos Adentro, Eye of Newt, Captain Thunderbolt, wow wow wow.

New TB's have bloomed in the last couple of days! Quaker Lady:

My Montmartre started blooming darker purple this year, but is now reddish in full bloom:

And Owyhee Desert (love this iris!):

The last has Montmartre and Quaker Lady in the background.

Leslie,

That's a great shot of Quaker Lady--shows off its combination of interesting colors and elegant form. And you're right about Owyhee Desert, which I've been meaning to get for a long time now. With that name, I think it must have been bred in Idaho, my home state. Does anyone know?
