Those were amazing! Liked Glacier Melt & Cafe Viva the best.

Really nice ! Malaysia is a pretty iris, but it's somewhat a "iffy" grower here, It bloomed last year...and took this year off! It just doesn't seem to make much increase ...Arlyn

Haunted Heart is definitely going on the wish list! Connection is a stunner. Did your Coal Seams produce a lot of blooms? Mine went crazy with them. Love it!

My problem is that I like them all!

Cindy I used up nearly all my stakes this year. Some of the iris just do not produce strong stalks. We have had a lot of rain and wind , which tends to knock mine over. Being located on a hillside doesn't help. I have that bulldozer of a cat who has not learned to walk gently among the iris to deal with too.

Arlyn Malaysia has not been a reliable bloomer for me. This year I had a very high bloom percentage, even among first year plantings. Maybe all the snow last winter helped to insulate them.

Leslie Yes, Coal Seams was amazing. I only planted one rhizome, but it had multiple huge blooms. Currently still blooming. And it did not need to be staked!

Mine didn't need staking either which was great!! AND I got at least 16 blooms off of my one rhizome. Best new bloomer I have ever had.

TB plicata 'Tudor Ruffles' is blooming. It wandered away from its label which is annoying.

Lucy the deer do that in my garden. Over the winter they pull them up, walk away and spit them out.

Deer here don't bother my iris. I thought they had left but found this morning that they are eating my little green developing rose buds.

Beautiful Pam, I love them all!

Pam, your weather forecast for today is rain. Like Tom, you'll be experiencing some wind driven "drool rain" from California.

OK the umbrella is out!

The garden is winding down, but I am having trouble keeping up with the pictures. Today's edition...some old and some new...

American Sweetheart Small on size - Big on color and presence


Happenstance


Sotto Voice


Pep Rally and another of Coffee Whispers Sometimes the later blooms are better.


Fiery Temper


Gold Country and a clump of Come What May


Streetwalker


Center Ice



and finishing with Decadence

Oooh... Really like American Sweetheart.

Some Great ones. Happenstance is very nice!

All of these are super gorgeous and it is really hard to pick a favorite but think I have to go with American Sweetheart.

Thanks for letting me know Pam. I definitely will be buying some plant stakes. No hurry though as I only have 1 iris. Next year will be a different story though.

Really nice ones !! ...Arlyn

A few of my Iris are starting to bloom.
