Very pretty Celia!

Don't you just love that beard?!

Okay - my standards are looking pretty orange on my Delirium. Will have to check later to see if they fade to a golden color. Pretty as orange though.

Wanted to add a pic of Tessie the Tease in full sun. So vibrant.

looks like she was affected by the cold as she is short. Tends to be in the foliage, but just so. This one looks like it is much further down.

My Tessie has about 7 stalks showing, but should have more based on the number of fans on this one. I might get about 15-20 based on the clump size.

If you open the picture full you will see the taller buds. She opened at three heights on each stalk, and each stalk bloom opened at the same height at the same time. The medium height blooms went first, then this is when the lowest blooms were open, and the highest are about to open.

ahhh. I see she does stuff her own way. Typical!

In another spot not marked, is it PP too?

Lisa, it's hard to tell. Can you get a photo of the second iris with a frontal shot like the first one so we can see the sepals and the stygmatic lip? Since it's lavender in the first one that may be helpful.

I see London, I see Derry.... oh you get the idea.

Londonderry has been open a few days now. Nice bloomer, lots of buds! Mine is a bit pale in color compared to others I have seen - must be a soil difference.

A couple in the sun:



And one in the shade:

I'm especially glad to see Londonderry in bloom.....mine was added to the 'goner" list, today

Arlyn - I have two - I can send you one if you would like. Or send next year if you are worried about the garden for this year.

I just got Londonderry last year from Bonnie, it's doing well, and I hope to see it's bloom this spring some time.

Ooooo! That's pretty!

My thoughts exactly Celia!

I'm thrilled with intermediate Lakota! As pretty as its picture.

I have it on order, so I have to enjoy it's beauty through your pics. So pretty!

IB Apollo's Touch - looks very similar to Protocol I think, but I love the yellow and white.
