I do too, Lucy. They are my favorites. They have such a varied array of color, height and bloom size for their class and you can have hundreds with no two nearly alike. Although I will have to admit to buying some that are a lot alike...... but the differences are known to me. LOL

Lucy's correct about Jewel Baby.......Mine does more 4's than 3's, every year.

I should get it, then.

I can send you some, Debra. smiles

I would like that, Bonnie.

You've got a lot of little beauties Bonnie!

Love to see some blooming clump shots.

cold and drizzly day here. Not the greatest day for an iris bloom to open.

This little iris is green where my photo shows tan.

Rob, right now I am posting first bloom photos. The others will have to catch up to make a clump.

Love that one too. You are a great source of SDB temptation!

Isn't she?

Thank you, Stacey. stalks are forming on the taller irises also. This may be a 'quick' year. I am living in the garden...... not going to miss a minute of it.

Lovely, lovely, Bonnie.

I Love all your Iris, Bonnie, but really love Sparks Fly.

What a gorgeous assortment, Bonnie!!

I hope that it isn't too quick. We wait all winter & hope to have a good season.

Nice bunch of color going on in your garden Bonnie. Keep sharing. It keeps me going while I wait for mine to start in May.
