However, if posting for others, it should have the correct name to avoid confusion.

Since I am using film, I shot a role of 24 today. I have NEVER used up an entire roll before!

You're right Jo Ann. Not a blueberry but certainly a most beautiful little iris!

Brighde is wonderful. Lovey dubby Your Temors is lighter in coloring than mine. Mine is more reddish brown with the yellow.

Lestv I was surprised too.It was so much lighter than the web photo. It just opened today so I will check it tomorrow sometimes color changes in a day.
I am not really familier with these division of iris and am surprised the blooms only last a couple of days.
Made me do it and I photoed without sunlight.

This label bothered me so I did some setective work and now believe it is Mid Americas Kaching not Tremors.

Other than the lighter tones it certainly looks like Tremors. My SDB blooms didn't last for more than a few days either, but I figured that the high heat we had was the cause. While the blooms may not last, the dwarfs just keep on blooming. I had 8 new ones bloom this year and they all produced quite a few blooms. Some had a first bloom spurt of several flowers, then a second spurt came along a week later.
