Ocelot is on my list. In some pictures the bottom (falls?) appears almost black. Striking.

Tom - That is what this one is doing. Should have an amazing La Scala clump shot! Good luck with yours.

Missy - Ocelot is amazing and the falls look very dark depending on the light.

Once LaScala settles in, it's a reliable bloomer and increaser. Mine blew the walls out this year!!!

Love your Drinks picture, Pam!!

I looked at mine this morning, and many of the buds are on short stems, and there are several that have been affected by this " Grumbling " weather we're having, so it may not be so beautiful this year, but I'm hoping I get some normal blooms to view.

I love Ocelot too. Don't have it, but always loved it. One day....

I did order Class Ring and Drinks this year though! All your pictures remind me of why! Thumbs up

This one is amazing!



Devil's Riot



Painted From Memory
Another of my new favorites!

Show Your Colours
This one gets better and better the longer it blooms.




Barnie, the rescue kitten.
I had to evict this one from the garden this afternoon - way too much energy - there were buds flying everywhere she scampered!

Pam -- what a beautiful array of Irises! And most of which I've never seen before. They certainly look happy in your garden!

Barnie looks like he's full of the devil!! Hilarious!

Thanks for posting Splatter Art. Mine is new from last year and didn't bloom. I like how it looks.

Nice collection

Barnie found us. She is about 9 months old and just full of it! She was dumped on our farm as a very tiny kitten right at the beginning of winter. Was supposed to be a "Barn Cat" - hence the name. She was simply too tiny to deal with last winter's cold and snow, so is now #3 house cat. They all are allowed in and out as they please - I am actually on this earth to be a cat door butler - so they think!

Barny is VERY unhelpful in the garden - but great company!

'Spiral Galaxy' is on my must have list. Every time I see it, it takes my breath away. 'Show Your Colours' was a nice surprise for me...
