Obi-Wan Kenobi. The name says it.

Getting more enamored with Blyth irises every day!

Today's a great day! I was going to put "Ask a Lady" on my want list after seeing the picture Leslie posted. And I already got it in 2015. The old memory isn't what it used to be. but 'Pamper Me' is going on my list now.

We're all going to rack up a lot of garden raiding millage points. (I need a little sneaky smiley. )

Nice Deb!

Jan - Butterfly was in my Brad box, so it is a good possibility!

Finishing up the B's and starting the C's

Debra if you loose merry amigo let me know I have enough to share.

SDB Chanted has been one of the mainstays of pink SDB breeding for a number of years. Some people like Paul Black have moved beyond it for his parents but not the rest of us. The first time that I had it there was bloom without increase. I was told to cut the bloom stem. It worried me because Chanted was new in the country. However it worked & it began to increase.

Having only seen small photos, I didn't realize that Center Ice had tinted edges on the standards as well.

So this would work with other dwarfs that are still small but trying to bloom? I have a few that could use the help of growing instead of blooming.

It isn't necessary if they had increase. Chanted was a single bloomstalk & no increase. you could try one, leaving a stalk & see what happens. I was biting my fingernails on that one.

I am most looking forward to this one blooming and a lot of others that I am still trying to figure out how to post.

Some more C's
