Second, but first in my heart, Owyhee Desert

Love the green veining on the standards!

Lines and Spreckles!

Love it's scent!

Obviously I still love this iris. It is a shorter TB and a slow grower, but it blooms every year for me and that is what matters!

Cool effect, Ken -- does it have a name?

Grand Circle is lovely! Like the effect too.

I love that one too, Leslie (surprise surprise) -- but have yet to see it bloom in my garden. It was planted in the Nursery bed last summer -- I hope it survives.....

If I go into the scene mode... it is called, Selective Color.
Grand Circle is suppose to be a rebloomer, but it has never rebloomed here... even with extra fertilizer and watering.

Interesting -- I wonder if all/most cameras have that option. Gotta look at mine!

Mary Ann - different cameras have different effect choices. You may find a similar setting on yours. My small digital has more options like that than my Canon.

Leslie is right on effects available on different cameras. This new camera (Nikon Coolpix L840) looks like a DSLR camera...only I can't change lenses. It does have bunch of different options and settings that I am learning and playing with.

Ken, I also have a small digital camera. The setting is always on AUTO. When I encounter a problem I edit in PICASA ( no longer available from Google )or any photo editing program.
I have a Canon G16 .I like the easy to hold size.

Grand Circle is so pretty.

I think it's safe (and sad) to say that French Lilacs ( Keppel) is the last
blooming iris in my garden for 2016.

Oh, it is a sad day. Do you have rebloomers?

I have a few, Teresa, but no action yet.

Jan, you have to get a few more rebloomers. These opened yesterday.

Tripod-not as strong a grower and rebloomer as Red Hot Chili.


Again and Again-probably the strongest TB rebloomer we have.


La Ballet-it threw up three stalks.


Toulouse-not listed as a rebloomer, but for us it does.(Double Overtime is in the background.)


Sugar Maple SDB put up a couple new stalks but I didn't get a photo.

Sunstrip is still blooming. Not sure if it is a new stalk.

Lucky you, Carl!

I am going to make a Bloom Season 2016 Part 2 thread. This one is really long already, and there are postings yet to come I am sure!!

That's fine with me. Do we close this one to new posts?

I think people will read the last messages and switch over.

Would you post the new thread link?

I'm going to go kick my re-bloomers in butt.
