Mountain Halo is VERY interesting. I think it might be the yellow in the haft area that intruigues me the most. Also like Wonders Never Cease.

You see a problem with Copatonic???? I don't see any problems? What, you don't think I can spell? Rolling on the floor laughing I am crazy, you all know that, I just went out between storms and tried to get some pics before they all get distroyed. Lucky I didn't get hit by lightning! I need to get my act together. Glare

If the previous photos are an indication of your 'act' you are a very together guy! Your irises are just wonderful and the photos are great. I am so glad you braved the lightening storm in order to share the photos. Thank you.

Hurray! There's that Cold Fusion that I want. Thanks for showing Tom. We've been lucky...the storms have been knocked down to rain showers as they come across that cold big lake.

Thanks, Beacon Of Light was a gift iris from Mid America last year. The first bloom is now 3 days old, and still strong! Like that when they last a while. Not saying what this storm is doing to everything.

I'm working on that Paul, but I have 23 acres, so it's going slow. Rolling on the floor laughing

Send one of the chickens out with a camera to take pictures in the lightning storm. If they get struck, no big deal. BONUS! You have a start on dinner!

I like that in an iris too. I don't like cutting off spent blooms every day especially if that iris has multiple blooms at once.
