Beautiful Irises Tom! I love your bed-shots!!

I'll get to training the next batch, Greg, right now I'm trying to get the to learn how to clean the house. Not working to well though, they get into the beer and chips and sit around all day playing on the computer. Time for soup!

You have 23 acres......I have a 100 by 100 city lot which I struggle to keep up........

I have 1/3 of an acre and struggle to keep up!

Looks really super, Tom ! My suggestion would be to sell some of those chickens, use the money to buy a tractor with a mounted tiller, and get rid of that grass!! It kind of detracts from the over-all effect of the iris !....arlyn

Arlyn!

You have way too many irises that intrigue me. Does Class Ring grow well for you? It is an iris I have been eyeing for a couple of years.

Well, If I didn't have 23 horses, I'd have more acres to fill as well. I have a minimum of 6 hours per day with them, and I have hired help 5 morning per week!
Leslie, I just got Class Ring last summer, it had increased nicely and bloomed of course this year. It's color is more brilliant then the picture shows. It's one I can recommend.
The storms have passed, now we have heat, wind and humidity! Here's a few more:

Copper Classic, a bit wind blown





Glamour Pants

...Arlyn

beautiful blooms to look at on this rainy afternoon! thank you for posting them.

Won't be any new pics now until this wind calms down. I'm doubting it will happen today.

Sun, iris tour. Mon grocery shopping & recovering fron the tour. No I don't have photos--spending my energy moving around & seeing what is there. 2 hr. judges training on seedlings as well.

Wow, busy woman, Lucy!

Oh myyy, stop!!! Fancy Idea, I am in LOVE with Fancy Idea!
Oh and the beautiful rows of iris surrounded by green, my favorite color.

That Glamour Pants is no slouch........................

Well, I just took 54 pictures since the wind has let up, but it was too dark and I deleted all but this ones that turned out for some reason. I'll get more of it tomorrow I hope.
Ths is one I really like
Oxford Countess

I can see why you would like that Oxford Countess Tom, it is lovely.

Another one for my list!

And this is taken after a day of rain and wind! She held up nice I think.

It was a bit slow to start out, but it's coming along nice now.
