I had Before the Storm but I don't know what happened to it. Maybe I gave it all away and have to ask for some back.

Gave the plants a hug before leaving for vacation. Look what I found..Bolshoi decided it wants to put up a stalk

I think I'll be back for the bloom though.

Pretty sure this is my grand finale

Gimme it and I'll grow it!

Last TB to bloom [ I think ] -- unless somebody has moved !

Bud is very dark purple - when opened this is the color I enjoy ..

Live like every day as it is your last because one day -- it will be.

This isn't a dress-rehearsal ~

Sounds like you better make another stop at Thelma's on your way back!

Safe and sound in Chattanooga. Look at this post bloom outside my window at the country house. Guess I'll be adding a mystery no if to my yard when I return

Gimme it and I'll grow it!

Neon Mama to wake you up. Sooooo much nicer than the Blue J pic leads you to believe.

Spiced Custard is another one of the iris I always thought would be so nice. Well, first off, it really looks nothing like the Schreiner's catalog picture. Still not a bad iris. Lacks a little pizzazz. Produced two big bee pods though....

I really liked how long this one stayed blooming. I got it from Greg, but notice that the hafts are more orange on mine, while his pics look more golden. I am guessing this is a soil difference as it is certainly the same iris.
