Want beauty in a smaller form? That is what the median bearded iris give you! The dwarfs have a thread of their own because it seems more of us are growing them than the other medians. But that shouldn't take away from the charms of the rest!

Sadly this one has taken a beating, but it is the maiden bloom for Eleanor Roosevelt - an historic IB from Sass. Props for blooming during a storm.

I plan to live a long time but I don't think I will make it to 2106.

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?

This is how Crump's IB Tessie The Tease spent the first days in my garden (and demonstrating she lives up to her name):

Teasing me by not opening fully!

Finally, several days in the falls came down.

Love Tessie The Tease. I got a small piece of one last summer. I sure hope it makes it. It has great color saturation.

With Bonnie. Love those beards!

I think my Star In The Night might bloom this year. Hope so.

I can't show you one as the photo was sent to me by someone who sells photos so I don't think I can put it on the internet, but here is a photo of my Twilight Calm taken by Rita Gormley. Again a MTB.
