Nice bold colors in Michingan Pride, I have that one too. I love Owyhee Desert, I had that one, but it never bloomed and died out. I should try it again.

Leslie, your photographs of Quaker Lady made me add it to my list. MADE me do it!

I really love Owyhee Desert. It stands out from all the colors around it, and it has a very pleasant scent. Can't wait for it to increase even more!

@lovemyhouse Debra - do you want a rhizome or two of Quaker Lady? Mine were hiding under periwinkle in a rock garden on the side of my house. Two years ago I dug up the fans and planted them in my gardens. They are increasing very quickly. I planted some more stray fans last year that were only two or three inches tall and they already have grown enough for one plant to bloom! From gardening notes I found in my basement, I am guessing the Ladies were first planted in the 1940's so they are pretty bug and weather resistant.

Leslie, YES!!!!! I would love some, thank you.

Paul, Susan and Leslie...

The three of you are responsible for ruining my shirt...I just drooled coffee all over myself.



Beautiful irises!

Rob!
Hope you don't send the cleaning bill! I would have to knock an iris off my buy list!

Debra: Treemail me with your mailing info for the Ladies.

So many of the TBs are yelling my name. Last years photos of Golden Panther made me add it last year. Afraid my cats didn't think I'd buried it deep enough and covered it almost completely up sometime over the winter. I dug it back up and replanted it. Hope it makes it. It looks like a lovely shade of gold.

I got Golden Panther last year too, Susan. It survived our horrible winter, but I don't think it'll bloom this year. Hope I'm wrong................

I ordered it this year. Really a rich gold color.

It's interesting -- most of us Irisaholics have similar tastes in Iris. Or is it that ALL Irises appeal to us.................

No, no -- I think it's that we have similar tastes. Yup -- that's gotta be it!

It's been raining here off and on and cool the last few days so bloom has stalled somewhat. Here are some rained on iris this morning.

Looking good Paull, what's that black one in the next to the last picture?

Beautiful iris beds!

I love Iris pictures in the rain!!

Beautiful blossoms, beautiful beds Paul. I took some bed pictures today too -- will try to post them later today. It's a busy day today!!

Tom....the black one is Ozark Rebounder. It could be a little wider at the haft and a little more ruffled but I love it just the same.

It looks like it's quite dark.

It is nice and dark.....
