I had three *U* Irises: Uninhibited (which died) and Urban Cowgirl and Unchain My Heart -- which haven't bloomed for me yet.

Since Urban Cowgirl has already been selected, I'll go with Unchain My Heart:

I forgot it was 2 fer Sunday! I don't have any others that bloomed so I have to go with one that I have that hasn't bloomed yet. I took the picture while visiting Brad's garden.

There's a story behind Uninhibited, I forgot that I had gotten one from Brad in 2013, and ordered another one in 2014, then he sent yet another one last summer, so now I should have an instant clump. Oh those senior moments. Confused

Like everyone else, I have a small number of "U"s; two to be precise. The other one has yet to bloom and has been posted by several of you "Up In Flames". I will try to find a "U" on my wish list! Thumbs up

I forgot the twosie for Sunday. If I knew for sure I could really grow arilbreds, then there are lots of great U's out there!

I know I can grow TB's, so my wish list second U is Un Peu Fou by Cayeux:

Look at that rim and chocolate bud!

Now the one from my garden after a storm that destroyed a lot of my irises.... not to mention ripping the roof off the boat house and delimbing big oaks.

It is an almost white iris with a grape pattern on the falls.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Oh he is a cutie! Glad he survived, but sorry for the boat house and oak trees. Sad
