Petal Pushers had spoons on a couple of flowers, while the rest of the stalk bloomed without them. We had a heat wave during that time and blooms were opening fast and shriveling fast.

Thanks again Tom, it's a beauty!

I got sidetracked...

Beautiful irises Leslie!

Thanks Rob. It has been hot here this week so Petal Pushers is opening and fading fast here too.

Bonnie - it must be growing on me a bit because I keep trying to figure it out. The falls are so open and lovely.

I am with you Leslie, Don't care for "Room for Romance"

Kevin's Theme - so pretty:






Isn't It Something?:

Can you spot the issue with this bloom?



And look how different it appears in sun and shade:

That is somethingg! All of you are killing me with your beautiful irises. Hoping to get some blooms before June.

Love Kevin's Theme.....

Can't spot the *issue* with the broken color Iris -- probably because I don't love broken color Irises -- sorry.................

It's the double beard!

...and yes, Kevin's Theme is a beautiful iris...any your pictures of it are gorgeous Leslie!

Oh crap -- I should have caught that...............

I missed the double beard. It's cute!

I know what you mean about sun vs shade shots. In this one of Batik, you can seen the difference on a single bloom. Almost a different color.

I think that really shows up in the purples especially Celia. I like the changing aspect it gives to the garden at different times of day.

And yes, a double beard! That kind of year!!

I do, too, Leslie. I go out a few times and do a walkabout. I see new colors every time.

Some Slew o' Gold - wakes up the garden for sure!

And Slew hanging with some friends (Acoma, Change In The Weather, Badlands):



I am going to make a new post for the next one because, well, it's a Burseen you all have probably not seen.

Burseen's Stolen Identity (again I am going overboard with pics):

The beards on this one!!!!

Loads of blooms (true of all my Burseens)

Wow!!!

That is cool Leslie! Amazing beard. Love the Burseen iris!

Thanks Pam. It was a last minute purchase last year from Wild Iris Rows after Greg Hester told me it was a great grower. He sure was right.

That one is gorgeous, Leslie. Put me on that share list....please.

No problem Bonnie, but it will probably be next year before it is ready.
