If I give it all away it would be because of space issues. I am still pretty greedy newbie, so I might keep it

Was supposed to be Secret Service but I think it is Delirium. Am I right?

Persnickety

All of my SDBs are finished. Will have Spectator tomorrow.

Yes, that IS "Delirium"!

Delirium! Pretty unique iris.

Pretty little clump of Star In The Night. Don't think mine will bloom this year.

Star in the Night

I think I will have somewhere in the range of 15 to 20 bloom stalks on that one this year!

Dumbledore was out very late last night. Here he is at 5:02AM this morning in the glow of my headlights as I was leaving for work.

Of course, "he" may have trying to get some action from:

this pair of "Encore Lady"s. They aren't his "type" so says JK Rowling, but maybe they were running around town together causing havoc!

Ah those wacky wizards! At least he wasn't out having a wand fight with Grindelwald.

Dumbledore didn't display its colors well here, so I sent it to our daughter in Ohio & the family loves it there.

Grindelwald is still sleeping (lots of buds). He will be out in a week or so (or maybe sooner as this year is starting to go sideways)

Really loving all these IBs! Most of what I've ordered so far this year are IBs.

Fantastic Blue is looking gorgeous today! Arlyn, I love this iris so much!

This sweet little IB plicata came from Deb

Here is Spectator blooming before the big storm.

Got this as a bonus from PNW sale or from Dee.

Nice ones, Ed. My Synergy did not bloom and I have heard that it is an infrequent bloomer. How does yours do for you?

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?

Synergy is new to me last fall and still in a pot. I liked the size of the bloom even though there were too many petals, but the stem was a little small and drooped from the bloom weight. I hope everything gets more normal when I get it planted in the ground.
