Well some clouds moved in so I took a couple of pictures. I know these little guys aren't as amazing at the big TB's but they need their day in the sun too! nodding

Our SDB season was great, but now we all are hoping for something blooming for the show on Mon. A lot of nail biting here.

OMG Bonnie, I see Dazzling Sarah in the downloads. That is so nice. I have never seen it before. Love the huge beard, and the color!

Dazzling Sarah is DAZZLING to say the least. you will walk up to it and grin. If you talk to your irises you will tell her she is dazzling indeed. Large blooms and for a long time. I got her last summer and was not overly enthused by her description but needed something in the bed and Sarah is my first Grands name so I got her. She is outstanding. So glad I did,

Tom, I can send along a bit of DS to help beef up my end of the iris swap. This will let me chose another of yours. You have soooo many gorgeous little guys and I am soooooo coveting them. lol

Love Tribble! And before you offer more compost - the offer was to rescue the unwanted iris before they get thrown in the muck, not to rescue the muck itself. Silly boy!

But considering the nice iris that Tom grows, you might be wise to get some of his compost, as well ! And steal one of his weeding chickens while you're there !....Arlyn

Well, my Pit Bulls guard the chickens, and the chickens provide their own natural fertilizer to the soil, while they eat the weeds and insects. Rolling on the floor laughing
By the time my TB's finally get to blooming, you guys will be so tired of looking at them that you'll all be on the Day lily forum. Oh well, I'll still post them if they ever do get here. Crying

If I'm lucky, I might have a TB open up today. Have one close, if not today, then tomorrow for sure. Hurray! I still have some little ones that haven't opened yet. Now it's time for me to get excited. Sticking tongue out

Enjoying all the little ones including the baby birds. Some of my SDBs are still blooming. Seems to have been a long season for them here. The cool weather must have helped.
