Sailor's Warning - bloomed like crazy for a couple weeks, not bad for a potted iris!

Trumped ...a gorgeous iris!

I really like:

Stolen Sweets & Beth's Blessings

The runners up?

Air Hog
Sailor's Warning
Trumped

Loving all these really nice pictures!

I had never seen Neat Pleats. Really like it!

Eyes Right is a beautiful color.

So where did you ladies get these beauties?

And why do I still not have Air Hog?

Now I am excited to see more of mine open up! I have some to post later today, and more to come.

Me thinks you can trade for the Air Hog as it is a popular one.

I was hoping that soon I can get Air Hog and Tobacco Chew in trade. I should have something worth those trades!

Greg - did you mean Stolen Identity?

Duh! Yes. I am somewhat distracted but that was one of those "silly" errors you make when you g0 two phast. Ewe no what i meen?

Yez I dew.

I def do! Another cause might be the jealousy I'm experiencing from looking at all of your gorgeous iris plants. Ah...someday!

I have Sailor's Warning on order this year
I need to get Beth's Blessings
I bought Air Hog last year from Superstition and the pictures I posted were photographed during last years visit to Superstition Iris Garden.
I bought Neat Pleats from CT Iris.

Leslie, I will have some Tobacco Chew for you. I planted it last fall and I will need to thin it.... and probably re-plant in an are where it can go crazy?

Great to hear Bonnie as I have Stolen Identity ready for you this year if you still want it.

Oh no Rob - I have turkeys, and they talk!!!!!

Talking Turkey (wow this one smells good)





It is suppose to have long fuzzy beards like the last picture. The first bloom hedged it's bets and had one long beard, one spoon and one horn - as you can see in the second picture.

TB Baditude. This one has a little green on the edges of the falls that I cannot capture in a photo. I like this iris with attitude.

That is still cool though. I find alot of irises that are hard to take good and representative pictures of. They look soooo much better in person. Must be some sort of "Marketing tool".

Well it seems to be working Greg! It took me awhile just to get that spot of blue to show up near the beards of Talking Turkey, so I can guess that capturing a green edge would be much much harder.

Debra @lovemyhouse - this one is for you!

Blackbird Landing: This bloom is enormous! Easily 10+ inches from top to bottom.

When it first opened, and in shade I thought it looks a bit more subdued than I expected:

First opening:



Fully open:


now we are getting somewhere!



Then the sun hit it, and oh my! (Please open to enjoy fully)
