Love the vibrant colors in Adoree. Nice to see non-catalog pics so I know they aren't "enhanced."

I have lots of new ones open, but won't be able to take any pictures in this 30+ MPH winds. I have more to post from yesterday when time allows.

Waiting patiently...................

or not so patiently.......

OK just had my strawberry Pancakes so I'm ready to upload some pictures. I did manage to take a few this morning, but ended up deleting more then I saved, darn wind. But here's a couple of new ones to me.
Here's Number 33, Tempo Rouge, another one I imported for Australia a couple years ago, but it's first time blooming. Somewhat beaten by wind and rain. I like it.

Ooooooh pretty! Without looking it up, I'm guessing it is a Blyth?

Number 34 is Petit Tigre, one I imported from France last year. It's cute I think, you brown lovers will like it for sure.

Well, I did give you a hint!

Number 35 is Crown Him King. I got this as an introduction from Van Liere and almost lost it last year. It came back with two tiny increases last year and bloomed this year. I like it. The flower is a bit smaller, but I think it's due to the small rhizome that bloomed.

Crown Him King is unusual -- I like that one a lot!!!

Yah -- there might be other hybridizers in Australia -- but I don't think so.................

I don't care for Petite Tigre -- I don't love the spotty look of Irises like these -- but Tempo Rouge is lovely!!

I'm behind on pictures, in fact I doubt I will be able to post all of them due to the sheer numbers of them. I will do my best, but some of the older repeats I might not spend a lot of time on once I get in the full swing.
Number 36 is Breakers.

Number 37 is Spin Off. One I've had a while, but haven't seen in a while.

I like Petit Tigre but love Tempo Rouge. Can't wait to see what other beauties are still to come.

Number 38 is Immortality. A bit wet and beaten up.

! Breakers should open tomorrow, here....if the wind hasn't broken the stalks off by then !

Breakers is blooming everywhere!!!!

Some really nice ones Tom.. I've got a couple that you've got on order. I know another singer/songwriter here in Santa Cruz named Ginny Mitchell, so that one's coming... and Adoree I couldn't resist. Crown Him King is one I've admired too... I'll wait another year for the price to come down a little more
Petit Tigre should have been named Dirt Bike, or Mud Whompin', or something of the sort. I keep going back to it though... kind of like an accident that you can't take your eyes off of... Change of Pace is yummy, and so is By Jeeves.

Adoree is a slow grower here, but keeps going. Ginny Mitchell is a good grower, but this year all the bloom stalks are short, think is weather related though. I have several like that. I can include a Change of Pace in your box if you like.

Number 39 is Dialect.


Look at the dark bud!
