I like it, though.

OOPS, Ann...I called you Arlyn earlier. I saw the Acorn and didn't look past that, just assumed it was Arlyn. Anyway, Victoria Falls falls because it does not have a very much substance to it's stem so it gets kinda tall and top heavy with it's flowers. I would have explained but thought it was Arlyn and he could just figure it out I guess. Sometimes I just don't think. It is a good way to help ID VF, she is flimsy.

Arlyn, your NOT What is a lovely little iris.

I often wondered why Schreiners introduced V. F. they have other good blues.

Didn't it get a Dykes medal?

yes. Never quite understood that either, unless other plants split the votes between them. Happens.

I would say there were better choices both for introduction and the Dykes Medal but no ones called and asked me so...

Well, at least it didn't stay a NOID TOO long.......My "What Again" is really " Double Your Fun "!! I walked to the other end of the bed, where DYF is planted, and said "Well, **** !' THAT'S what it is . Both from the same vendor in 2012, and I've looked at both, took pictures of both, for two , full, bloom seasons ,and STILL never noticed the error till this year !Oh, Well......anyone need any "Double Your Fun" ? I seem to have plenty !

Cool, that's one you sent me last year, now I have it too!

It's a nice iris, pretty, and a pretty fair rebloomer ,here. Increases well, too......It developed another whole clump, just since yesterday

Funny, Arlyn!

This will be the last of my irises and I went ahead and cut them so that my wife and I could enjoy them for a couple of days in the kitchen. I have no clue what they are, and there are three different varieties in this vase. I just know they are pretty and are fragrant.

Very pretty Ken! You don't have to know who they are to love them.

There you go, Lori. My problem is that I am a "named-plant" freak and have hundreds of orchids (many hundreds ), all properly labeled.

Here's a pink noid that I didn't order. There are two blooming next to each other.. My map says they
should be Dreaming of Rio, which is red and white. Any ideas?

I soo understand, I drive my self nuts until all the pretty faces have names to go with them. I sure wish I could grow orchids, so beautiful but so out of my skill level.

Jan the pinks are really hard to ID. I have a couple that I should have a clue as to who they could be and may still never know for sure.


Sent as Spindrift, it is not



I hoped was Spindrift but don't know still and may never know


Could be Debbie Reynolds could be something else


Should have been Apple Blossom Pink...I think not!



And they all look alike to me

Well, they all look the same to me, too! Pretty!

It's not 'Purissima'. This one has PBF, and Purissima does not. It matches the pictures and beard description for 'Matterhorn', which does have PBF. Anyone have any opinion?

This was supposed to be 'California Gold'.. It's a lovely white (planted next to warm colors)... I"m thinking maybe purissima...
