I don't know who carries Billie the Brownie. the person who did our irises has retired. You might check with Fleur di Lies garden in CA. Winterberry irises carries Isabella Anna.

Here's Fleur de Lis.. no web page that I know of.

Alva, (BB)

Thanks Lucy and Sherry!

Alva is a pretty thing! Love the beard color.

Here are two that opened in my garden today! Both are maiden blooms!

Backlit Beauty


Dark Forces (a bit short...but it's the first bloom.)

I have Dark Forces as well and am waiting on a maiden bloom too. Looks like I need to get Backlit Beauty.

Ooooo! Dark Forces is asking to live at my house!

No blooms yet but some are lining up and a couple are on deck.

Hope to have Grindelwald and Kid Gloves open by the time I get off work. Rust Never Sleeps has been blooming it's heart out, I am just behind in posting pics.

Dark Forces is a beaut!!!

'Redondo' (Keppel 2000)


'Hot Spice' (J.T. Aitken 1989).. just a bloom machine..

Sherry - I like Hot Spice better as a clump I think. Your shot of the clump is really nice. I like your use of hens & chicks in there too.

Backlit Beauty ( not this year's photo)

So glad I ordered Backlit Beauty!

Hot Spice was the one Blue J had to do a substitute for. Next year.

Hit the wrong photo. I posted Fancy Caper, not Backlit Beauty. I will see if I can do it correctly.
There we go, Backlit Beauty. No iris in bloom here as yet.

Been a bit lonely here in the median wing.

Rust Never Sleeps - it took until year two to bloom, but it sure isn't sleeping now. It has been producing bloom upon bloom.




This looks a bit too pink, but they are sure pretty as a mini clump.

Okay, today I had two Intermediates and a Louisiana bloom.... Two are on schedule, one is a month early at least.

First up is IB Kid Gloves:

Then the LA - which doesn't belong here, but doesn't have a thread home yet...

It is a purple NoID that always blooms way down in the foilage. It was a stowaway in my first LA order.

And finally the IB Grindelwald.

A couple in full sun - which makes it really glow I think:




And one in shade for comparison -



This one came to me compliments of Greg - and I know it is a favorite of his, so hope it is doing you proud Greg!

Finally! Country Dance has been teasing me the last few days. The first bloom of the season and new last year for me.
