Haven't gotten to the Noid yet, loads of blooms-a-poppin'!

Silent Wings about to pop:

Cat's Eye (still blooming!) opening: And open:

Grindelwald opening in the rain (hope to get some more shots later):


The behemoth opened, a/k/a Las Vegas:

One little Aladdin's Flame still at it:


Persnickety bloomed. Tiny little plant, but put up a bloom stalk anyway!


IB Jersey Cream:
Check out the beards!

TB Sultan's Palace (a bit beat up from rain):

All beautiful, Leslie!

Thanks Bonnie.

Don't blink! If you do, you will miss how "Grindelwald" will mushroom into a huge clump!! It does not look wonderful until you get close, then you see the blue lines and it tends to mesmerize!



PS Could that be Dukie blue!?!? Hmmmm......................

Some of those blooms look familiar! Glad they are doing well in NC

Just wonderful, Leslie -- your bloom *parade* is under way!!

Well I am not going to let it be Carolina blue!! It really takes awhile for the buds to open, but the bloom is lovely. Hope the next couple to open miss the rain. It is in a spot where it can multiply....until it runs into the happy Muggles (who also are clumpers). Your Silent Wings opened today. It has very tall bloomstalks! And the bloom is larger than I expected. (These are good things!)

Lots of pretties opening now!

Here is the first bunch:

Jersey Cream glowing in the sun:

Acoma has started:


IB Megglethorp - such a cutie:



And another cutie, IB Dazzling:

awesome!

Thanks for sending them! Hee. You will see a couple more of yours in my next batch!

These are for you Greg! All shot in the morning sunlight.

Peggy Anne - stupendous in the sun, very tall:



crazy from above

Grindelwald in the sun:






And Sultan's Palace in the sun:

It is hard to capture the glow that Grindelwald gives off. It is very cool. I am soooo far behind you.

Leslie -- you're off and running!! All looking so pretty!!!

It looks like 'Wild Whispers' might be open tomorrow. it is a species (pumila).

Yay Lucy! After all your snow, that must be nice to see!

Greg - Mine are early this year. The first bloom was on the 4th of April, last year the first bloom was April 24th! And except for the dwarfs, not really blooming as expected. I have IB's that are growing taller than the bearded, and Mid-Lates further along than Earlies. Your are probably on schedule!
And another of yours is opening today. Bolder Boulder should be fully open by this afternoon when I get home.

Lucy!!!! How 'bout that!!

Have a couple of chimeras now:
Experiment with two standards, and Acoma with 2 standards and four falls and beards.



I have an Arilbred that bloomed! What do you know! Eye to Eye



The Noid that is now This And That:



I love how the buds are rolling out of the pod on this Bulgarian Honey Garlic:



Luminata Silent Wings (with Dazzling in the background looking like a copycat):



The Dutch iris have started:



Rhododendron break



Megglethorp & Raindance Returns in the sun:

Lovely, Leslie -- every one of them!!

I thought a chimera was an aberration of color -- not form. ????
