Love the pictures with Bagheera. Finally have my laptop back and can really enjoy all these wonderful irises and animals.

Number 20 is Nobel Gesture. Picture can't do it justice. First time I've seen it, and wow, do I love it.

Number 21 is Sweet Kisses, another one I imported from Australia a while back.

All 6 opened today, is this what they call show stems?

Candleabra branching for sure, Tom.

Pretty iris! Baaaad kitty...

As always a fantastic display in your garden. Love the ones you have imported from Oz. Can't wait to see the rest of your blooms!

Tom, all of them are just lovely! You have impeccable taste.

Sorry to conjure up this picture, but Sofia looks like she's had a bikini wax on that beard... very narrow and trim.

Does your 'Rare Treat' usually have the stitching all the way around the falls?

Hi, Tom
Purples are my favorites and you have posted two beautiful ones! Loving Louisa's Song and Nobel Gesture. That being said I think the dark ones add drama, but also contrast for the pretty pastels.

Yup, I have impeccable taste, I see an iris, I want it.

Some years Rare Treat has more stitching around it then others. It's somewhat variable.

The dark ones do contrast nicely with the lighter colored ones.

22 is Cat Call, not looking its best this year. At least not the first blooms.

Number 23 is Super Hero. Such a neat one I think.

Number 24 is Magical. Such a nice one, and a good grower to boot!

Number 25 is Moonlit Water. Blooming earlier this year. A nice one, I think.

I will have to add Moonlit Water to my small group of luminatas. It is very beautiful.

I can spare one for you Bonnie if you want it.

I would love it! Thank you.

Got you down.

Yippee!!

Lookin' fine , Tom ! My Magical has bloomed, as well....but it has a deformed flower .....hopefully the other buds will be normal !, And my Pirate Ahoy "didn't make it", !
