You have some really cute MTBs! And I like the broken color on La De Da.

from AIS wiki site -
(IB) `La De Da` 1997, Ensminger `La De Da` (Allan Ensminger, R. 1997). Seedling 92 100. IB, 22` (56 cm)

I can't find it in our database but I am not an expert at searching. It is a sweet little rose IB.

The two coral-looking ones are Blue J Iris photographs, and theirs tend to have a yellow filter/cast to them, which often skews the flower color, at least a little. Smiling

I agree Debra, most of their pics are on the yellow side compared to the actual bloom.

Will have to keep an eye out for La De Da!

Everything is fairly soggy. I caught a few that had just opened before it started raining again.

TB Call Me Reba, this one is pink/rose and not purple like my camera shows.


TB perhaps Coral Chalice, when the new CC blooms I will know for sure

Here is another of SDB Butterscotch Carpet. It is really going strong even though something is dining on it regularly

Thank you Pam. I have been growing it as a NoID for about six years. Last spring another ATP poster saw it and suggested I try a comparison with Coral Chalice. I am about two days from the other one opening. smiles

Well then you will have twice the pretty blooms! That was nice of the Shadlows to send a bonus with the mistake! Hurray!

They are always patient and helpful but a bonus was really unexpected and nice. I am planning on where would be the best place to add some more dwarf iris beds. Seems like I may have ordered more than I have room for. I don't know how that happened. I have contacted the nursery that sold me the one that was supposed to be Absolute Joy. I heard right away from them saying they would check on it and I have not heard since. hmmmm??? I have emailed again. Perhaps they went out into the south 40 looking at their iris beds and got bogged down in mud..... if its anything like it is here.

We are getting rain again, too, Bonnie. One of the lakes is almost back to normal levels, and the 16? in the area have made gains.
