Frost isnt over. Tonight too. After Tuesday it's clear sailing as far as planting annuals goes.

Orange Obsession looks downright yummy! Like some kind of sherbet or fruity tropical drink! Is it a TB?

JoAnn, we had a frost advisory last night too, but it only got down to 39F.

No, Neal, it's barely 6 inches tall. I took some new pictures today when the sun was down that should be better. I'll post them later. Loving the new camera, seems to get the blues and violets correct. I'm a happy camper.

Tom your Orange Obsession is beautiful. Make sure to add it to the database. I have a photo of it where the standards aren't open all the way and it looks terrible from my visit to Salem.

Lovely little Mordor!

I agree with you Tom, my Canon also catches the purples and blues better. It is weird that the color look off in the viewer but when you look at the actual camera picture the colors are true to the iris.

My Intermidates are now coming along. Here's Eleanor Roosevelt showing her face for the first time. One open yesterday, and a few more will be open today I'm sure. This one is thanks to Arlyn! Smiling

Man's Best Friend in my Doggie Memorial bed opened as well. Boy is this a fast grower, it should be a nice clump later.

Great photo, yes I am realizing not all iris are created equal.
I have Voldy's Mink a dwarf, nice clump third year. On the other hand the TG Enchanted One is 7 years old,only bloomed once and never a second time that season. It puts up one bloom stalk per season.

Apple Crisp opened today. It's an intermediate. First time seeing it, and I like it a lot!

Tom, those bonuses are usually nice surprises.
Here are my dwarfs and mids so far. I doesn't seem to be an iris riot here this year.
