Grandchildren are my greatest joy.

Thanks for sharing your lovely blooms Mary Ann. I don't grow any of those so I can enjoy yours,

Thank you Paul. Half the fun of Irises is taking photos and sharing!

Tom -- yes I do like the fragrance. As far as High Master is concerned -- I'm pretty sure I'll be thinning this year -- would you like a rhizome?

Yes, if you have extra's I'd like one, thanks.

That is a pretty seedling. Like the ruffles. And High Master....

Mary Ann, Your purple NoIDs have leaves, but no blooms anywhere yet up here.

Don't make fear based decisions.

Wonder what they're waiting for, Linnea..........

Janie -- I'll put your name on the list as well. My clump of High Master had seven full-size, fully opened blooms tonight -- it was just gorgeous!!!

Leslie -- should I put you down for High Master if I have enough?

I'm jealous.. My Daughter of Stars has no spikes, and neither does Clarence.. I may move Clarence this year and see if it does any better in another spot..

Your Honey Glazed has made a very nice clump.. Nice to see..

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Beautiful, Mary Ann!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Mary Ann, Is your Moonlit Water really that rosy colored? Mine is way more blue/violet, or is it a camera thing?

The color on the right is more accurate.
