You getting lots of rain Rob? We're getting pounded... Closing in on 2".. :thumbsup:

The only thing close to a "Z", would be some that I have from Zebra Gardens here's one of the broken colors from Kasparek..
'Peekaboo Zebu'

Stacey -- Zap is adorable!! Stick around -- we have a lot of fun! We'll probably end up doing a second alphabet round. It's only February and we have a long way until bloom time. Specially those *Nordeners* like Brad and Tom and... and... and............ Tom, are you the most Nordener here?

Greg -- I don't see why Sue Zee can't be a *Z* entry -- especially if it's spelled that way..................... BTW -- I'm looking forward to your thread tomorrow.

Marilyn -- that's exactly right -- we have to save something special for Iris week. I'm mulling that over.

Rob -- Zurich is wonderful!! Purity of color and form. I love white Irises -- they are beautiful, and they set off the other colors! You're welcome to post your missed letter Irises -- I think we have a high enough count not to worry about thread placement -- and most of all, we just love to see Irises!!

Crossed Sherry!!

If Greg can use Sue Zee, I don't see why you can't use Peekapoo Zebu!!!

This thread will officially end tonight at midnight. Can't start a new thread until that time -- and at that time, I will be fast asleep.

So -- I will be here as early as possible in the morning to start a new thread. Also, Greg has something planned too. It could be a very interesting week!!!

Sad to see this end...Sniff...

The only thing close to a "Z" that I have is the variegated "Zebra"




Will be waiting to see what fun is in store for tomorrow!

Save some of your ideas for May Iris Week too! But hopefully by then we will have some bloom thread going.

I can't wait to see what you two have planned!

Rob, Zurich is beautiful...and it's a re-bloomer too!

Help, I don't have lists & have to remember names in my head. Be kind to a senior citizen.

I am loving all the beautiful pictures! Can't wait for tomorrow!

So do I win a weekend in Maui or something like that since I think I may be the only one who acturally had at least one iris for each letter, though I might be wrong, although Volcanic Glow hadn't bloomed yet.

I had all but an X iris. I have inquired about the little SDB X-files, a Filardi iris, but it has not been introduced yet. He said most likely next year. So, no X in my future for awhile.

Tom, I think a trip to Maui would have cost too much out of the iris buying pot. But nice try!

I think we should wait until everyone has had this year's iris bloom before we do the alphabet again. Which means later than iris week, since only some of mine will have bloomed by May 9 and most will have yet to bloom further north. Since so many said "mine hasn't bloomed yet" in this go around, it makes sense to wait for the blooms and the pictures of those blooms!

Leslie, we won't need an Iris budget, we just raid Tom's garden while he's in Maui!

Very Funny Neal!

Whoever's taking up the collection -- let me know. There's a few in Tom's garden that I need real bad!!!!!

I like how you think Neal!!!

Remember I have guard chickens and two pit bulls!

...and an airport nearby.

And an AK45 hooked up to a motion detector! Well, I guess that's a lie, but it sounded good at the time.
