Two more shots of Nassau Blue's maiden bloom - the color looking different than this morning's photo!










and a pink tree peony bloom today

Thank you Lucy, I fixed it so they appear one on top of the other now.
Bonnie, I think Delirium is more colorful in person than appears in the pictures. You more than welcome to some Delirium when it increases enough, I got a new camera and I think the colors are appearing more lighter in color than my old camera.
Bonnie and Leslie, I need to make up a list (and remember where I put it) but both of you are welcome to some Pretty Button.
Leslie and Mary Ann, I think they are a match too (I will post some more pictures in a bit. I'm also going to take apart a bloom from each and compare one to the other.
Jan, Nassau Blue is very nice!
Rob, I'm also looking forward to your picrtures.
Marilyn, Ennoble is just beautiful and I love the color
If I forgot to respond to anyone I'm so sorry

Barbara, start a list here by utilizing the database and creating an inventory list. You can add notes to it, like where and when you got the plant, and who you promised trades to.
Just find the plant you own in the database, and click on the blue button on the left side to add it to your inventory. You can even create separate categories for various types of plants like I have. You can create one just called 'Trades' and you can even set it to 'Private' so only you can view it if you want.

good colors on both plants. I love blue, but the red violet is very rich.
Temperature in mid 30s but didn't help melt the snow very well.

Sue, how do you make separate listings for plants by type?

Celia, just click on your plant list and then click on the 'Manage Categories' on the left side in the blue section. You'll now be on the 'Managing your categories' page. Scroll down and you'll see where you can create additional categories. Once you got that set up you can click on your list and then using the edit function on the right side, (pencil & pepper icon), you click to add it in the new category.

! Although, I have to say...it's always good to have pencil and pepper on hand.

I do both.

Sue, Thank you, I will try creating my list on ATP.

Orange Popsicle No ID Tag13

Same bloom time, and same heights (hoping to be able to ID )


Needlepoint


Delirium

Lovely!

I was babysitting most of the day (playing with Barbies and watching Hello Kitty videos.....). Lot's to catch up on..

Tom, Yes, thank-you! I'd love 'Classic Look' to compare as well.. Curious if you have an opinion on my plicata..

Jan, beautiful peony, and nice blue iris!

Marilyn... Enoble is a gorgeous color!

Rob & Barbara- you must be living right to have so many bloomstalks.. mine are just starting to appear... I had some pop into bloom today, but will take pictures in the morning.. Logo, Gimmick and Yankee Skipper are all I've got in SDB's & IB's.. PCI's are just starting too..

Can't wait to see your PCI's Sherry. Love seeing the rich colors they have.

Lovely photos Barbara!

Sherry the color as it appears in your pictures looks more like Classic Look, but the pattern looks more like Rare Treat. Although I'm finding that patterns can be really different in different soil with some plicatas. The ruffles look more like Classic Look. It's a toss up.

But Classic Look does not have PBF listed on its page; otherwise it is close.

I'm not sure that Rare Treat has PBF either, only slight if at all, but I can't tell now on dead leaves.

Here's what's out today

IB 'Logo'


SDB 'Gimmick'


SDB 'Yankee Skipper'


Buds on:
"Hint of Danger'
'Epicenter'
'Phalanx'
'Magical'
'Anything Goes'
'Art School'
'Got the Look'
'Wearing Rubies
'Sugar Blues'
'Hemstitched'
'Crimson King' (again)
'Confetti'
'Splashacata'
'Revere'
'Champagne Encore'
'Cherokee Blaze'
'Earthborn'
and of course, a few NOID's

Sherry, your Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris (Iris 'Yankee Skipper') doesn't look quite right according to other online images. Yours shows a deep burgundy/wine spot on the falls. It's registered as having a violet blue spot with more veins showing.

Beautiful blooms Barbara and Sherry!

Rainbow Rim surprised me and opened a bloom today. My fist little one to bloom....and I love it! I think I'll need to add more little guys in the near future.

Sherry - Love your shots with the tiny beading of dew on all the blooms.
