Ocean Pearl is a great grower--it sends up stalks in sequence so has a long season of bloom.

Mary Ann, I hope your irises haven't floated away! I need some pictures! Sticking tongue out You have to have some more blooming by now. I'm getting desparate. Blinking

OMG -- I had 118 photos in the camera from yesterday and today!!! Must be some Irises out there!! Green Grin!

It's late, and we're leaving tomorrow morning for a fast trip to Chicago -- so I'm not gonna post them all. Just will give you'all a few highlights to tide you over until I get back.

Hang on Tom -- they're coming!!! Hilarious!

Mary Ann, looks like you're about 2 weeks ahead of central Ky. Those first 3 look so pretty together- that noid red is stunning!

I'd love some of those reds Tom, thanks so much! I'm as happy with a beautiful noid as a brand new named one, especially since I'm such an air head and likely to forget names anyway, LOL.

Your red noid is looking identical to Dynamite that is growing next to it. Buds are the same, with the reddish purple rim. Bloom within a week!
