I keep going out to look at it, it's such an eye catcher. It's a good grower too.

Here's number 48, Dark Crystal. Of course it's yet another dark drizzly morning, so things are a bit wet.

Dark Crystal is lovely, Tom. That one may not be in the database...... it wasn't a couple of weeks ago when I was putting a few of my irises in that were not already in there.

I love Just Sassy. I noticed that it was ordered from Dee's but I am unfamiliar with that seller. Can you direct me to a website?

yes Val. I ordered it from Dee just recently. Go to CUBITS and you can go to her thread and still put in an order. But not for long.

Dark Crystal is in there, but there's a Dark Crystal Daylily that's not.

Val, Dee Stuart is the owner of Snowpeak irises, however she is going out of business I guess. I think you can maybe still order some from her through her facebook page, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone can provide a link for you.
@irisloverdee might respond directly to your request. I really like it, and the blooms seem to last a long time. You won't be disappointed.

Gypsy Gem is number 51, it's been so cold that it hasn't relaxed like it should.

She was battered a bit when she bloomed here too, Tom. It's just not her year for tidiness. The photos I took of her were really bad.

Your IB's are beginning now, I see. Gypsy Gem is beautiful and she is so bright it is hard to imagine it is cold around her. lol

I've had a couple IB's bloom, and some of my TB's are showing color. I still have some of the little ones that are going to bloom, but haven't yet.

In this crazy weather year, my blooms are all out of sequence. It appears now that my last bearded iris to bloom will be a MTB - Bumblebee Deelite. And I just had another open late too. Never figured the intermediates would close the show. (I may be jumping the gun though, since some of the TB's still have several more buds).
