Jan great thread almost impossible for me to pick one but since I have not shared any from Superstition Gardens here is my pic of the day. It was one gorgeous ruffled pink and I want a clump of it just like you see in the last picture.

Bead, Is that a seedling or a named iris? It's gorgeous!!!

Debra, that's exactly what I wanted to do, find something new to link to...but I had to stop to make dinner. So...after looking at the lovely Median introductions you linked I have to say that I really like the beard on Primal !

Yipee it works!!! Thanks Rob!

Primal looks like Glances which is a Blyth IB that I received as a gift from Keppel a few years ago. Look at it on the data base. A very similar beard.

Yea! (I like Primal, too, just like Coloursonic better )

Paul, good catch on that beard similarity.

Coloursonic is a beauty too, I'm just a sucker for those big fluffy brown beards! It seems like if it has a brown beard (a big fluffy one that is) then I love it!

Paul, Glances looks almost identical in overall color too. Maybe not quite as warm toned as Primal, but that could be the lighting, and it has a bit of a blue/purple streak coming from the beard...but still really close! Nice!

Those are beautiful pics of Superstition irises, Brad !
We'd like an iris pic of yours just about any day, every day!

I liked Coloursonic too. Love how the Blyth irises are wide.

I'm with Marilyn, that Duplication makes my mouth water.

Rob, your little formula makes no sence to me! I need the geek squad to interpret your process for linking.

[url="web address here"]word, or phrase you want linked [/url]
For example:
{url="http://www.beardedirisflowers.com/Thomas_Johnson_Introductions"}2014 T. Johnson introductions{/url}

Now replace all the { } with [ ]

2014 T. Johnson introductions

My Horse

I think it worked!

Yep, it did.

Now you've done it, Rob. I clicked that link. I looked at that page. I fell into the monitor screen.

Why Be Normal

I still don't understand this. Is it a cut and paste operation?

It is for the url, Mary Ann.

First, you type in these characters exactly as you see them here:
[url="


Then you paste in the actual url after those characters, like this:
[url="http://www.beardedirisflowers.com/Thomas_Johnson_Introductions/WHY_BE_NORMAL


Now, close it off with another quotation mark and a back-facing square bracket, like this:
[url="http://www.beardedirisflowers.com/Thomas_Johnson_Introductions/WHY_BE_NORMAL"]


Next, type in the name you want to be seen. In this case, it is Why Be Normal:
[url="http://www.beardedirisflowers.com/Thomas_Johnson_Introductions/WHY_BE_NORMAL"]Why Be Normal


Then, add a square bracket, a forward slash, the letters url, then a back facing square bracket. I changed the very first bracket to the curvy one so you can see the entire character string:
{url="http://www.beardedirisflowers.com/Thomas_Johnson_Introductions/WHY_BE_NORMAL"]Why Be Normal[/url]


Changing the first bracket back to a square one. What you see now should be just the words Why Be Normal, but with an active link behind them (meaning click on the words and it will take you to that page)
Why Be Normal

wow, too complicated for my views.

Me, too, I'm afraid

It is simpler to just copy and paste the url into your post. If you want a cleaner look or if space is tight, the other way is useful, too.

Tom- is that your horse (an Appaloosa?) and is that you riding her?

Brad - what's the name of that fabulous pink iris from Superstition?

Also - would you please post a link to the site with your own garden? I think I followed a link to it - somewhere.
It's so beautiful.
