Let's see those 2016 Dwarfs! in the Irises forum

Here is my only dwarf to bloom, a NOID. First year for it and it had two blossoms. But it came instead of the TB by Sass I ordered. Seller does not know what it is and it have not found it in some of the dwarf picture lists. Not sure what height it will be when it is mature in another year or so.

Beard is from the first bloom.
Top view showing the interior is of second bloom, not as curled up as the first one.

Nice photo of Big Blue Eyes Neal.

Pretty little NOID Dave. Everyone should grow a few of the SDBs. They are so early and really get the iris season off with a bang. Treemail me if you'd like some more for postage. They do need a lot of dividing.

Do you have a side shot Dave? Is it a self or a bitone?

Here are a couple other angles:

I think it is a self.
Thanks

Looks like it, but the haft marks and the two colored beard should help in ID-ing it.

Lavender Lynx was glowing when I got home from work, stopped and snapped pics on my way in the door.

Very pretty, Neal!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Tantara has just taken off this year.

What Again is a fast spreader.

Not sure if this yellow is distinct enough to name. It does seem to glow

I would call my Cat's Eye a dark garnet color

Summoned Spirit is a misty colored on.

With Castanets spread very fast too.

Zap get's my vote too! What a beauty!
