Oooooooooooh -- Sea Power!!! Mine isn't blooming yet. But my Paul Black is!!

You're right Paul -- that is one amazing beard on Be Brief!!

You are killing me with these photos.

Nice pictrues Paul, Be Brief is awesome!

Very nice, as usual, Paul ! Is Be brief unusually late this year, or does it always bloom with the TBs?...Arlyn

That Sea Power and Paul Black are both so gorgeous.

Thanks everyone........I almost lost Be Brief to soft rot last year so this is the first year I have seen it bloom. I think it will be earlier next year. Another thing is that is in one of the open beds while the TBs which are blooming are in the warmer bed which is along the south side of my house.

Agree with all the above. Really like Center Ice as well.

I'm glad you didn't lose it, Paul. It sure was worth saving!!

I spent my day at a Utah Iris society show and came home TIRED....I took lots of pictures which I will include in a new thread tomorrow but here are some blooming in my garden today....new pictures of some cultivars which I have already posted and a few newly opened ones.......

Orange Mash....an atypical blossom but look at that BEARD and color

Paul -- you must be really tired -- you identified two different Irises with the same name -- pictures 9 and 10 are definitely not the same Iris!!

Every one of your Irises are beautiful -- but especially the pinks!!!!

Thanks Mary Ann....I am tired and also feeling my 70 years 10 is Applause line....I am changing it.

get some rest, and get ready t post those pix ! I bet you dream about iris tonight !!..Arlyn

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........sawing Zzzzzzzz's

Nice pictures, but Picture Book and Star Field looks sooooo nice together!

Very nice, love seeing that Sea Power again that is a beautiful Iris and your right those beards on Orange Mash are really something, beautiful photo's.

After an entire day at an Iris Show, I would be tired too, Paul. 70 isn't that old -- but we're sure not 20 anymore!! Most days I have to incorporate a short nap -- in order to do half the work that I used to do. I used to be able to go from dawn to dark with a short break for lunch. No longer!!

The good news? We're still vertical!!

Paul - love all the variety in your garden!!

Thanks Leslie.....

Only a few new blooms in my garden:

Immortality (which with only 2 buds won't be immortal for long I am afraid)


Bumblebee Deelite




Tanzanian Tangerine

and World Premiere

And while they both bloomed, you can see in this shot many of the fans that will not bloom this year. So I am grateful for those that did!
