Thanks for the pics everyone! They are indeed a sight for sore eyes!

Debra, I love that yellow beardless noid! It looks like a spuria, what do you know about it?

Neal, it was here when I moved in, no information on it. One of my favorites, though. Two photographs are from last year, two from this year:

Looks like a Spuria to me.........

My Beloved and Smart Money

I received Smart Money from Brad this year and I am eager to see it blooming here.

Neal, forgot to say I should have a couple of rhizomes of the yellow to send along with the Orange Harvest next year if you want them.

Paul -- your Picture Book is a beautiful pink. Mine is peach:


I like yours better!!

Debra -- your Puddy Tat just enchants me!! BTW -- I will be happy to send you a rhizome or six of Silverado next year. Just remind me!!

Debra,

Check out Lesley Blyth's Love The Sun Iris (Iris 'Love the Sun'). It was reasonably widely grown and looks pretty close. Always chancy to identify via a photo, but....

I sure hope my picture book is pink! Paul more incredible pictures. for sharing them.

May Ann....my picture book is what I call a blue pink....no peach. Yours is lovely also. I wonder if it is the soil?

Oh Mary Ann, that is gorgeous! I love the warm tones too. Both are beautiful. I have put Puff the Magic on my need list. Its beard is wonderful.

I bought an iris at a spring plant sale and the following week it bloomed. Neal and Paul, if you have any idea about what type of iris this is I would appreciate it. At first I thought it was a LA but it is very short and the blooms are small. If it is a LA then perhaps it is one that was taken from the wild and not a hybridized one?

this is the flower bud


This is a comparison with a quarter for size


A closer look at the bloom

Paul, a pink TB that is without peach influence is really hard to find. It is lovely.

My best guess is a LA but I'm not an expert on them. I've grown a few here.

Bonnie......google Louisiana Iris and look at the pictures there. Some look like yours.

Thanks Paul, I will.

Debra, I wonder if your first yellow NOID is 'Joyce Terry'? Your clump shot looks like the one my Mother grew that got me going on historics....

So nice to see pictures of some of the ones I got this year. So much to look forward to.. A few more to add to my lengthy wish list..

Donald, wow, that looks really close. Height and bloom time are a match, too.

Sherry, the height is similar, but mine blooms early. Sure does look like it, though.

Okay, so now I have to find folks who grow these two, see if they would take rhizomes and grow for comparison. Thank you both!

Bonnie, that Iris sure is pretty.

Bonnie,

Definitely a Louisiana iris. Might even be the species I. fulva, but there have been introductions that are both hybrids and selected clones. I don't know if it's still there, but they used to have a spectacular planting of I. fulva at the Dallas Arboretum. In full bloom in a good year it was/is quite something to see.

Thank you all for brightening this dreary day. Such beauty to look forward to next Spring. I have a few that were lovely this year.

A few others, too, but I am on the tablet and don't have them here.
