Beautiful Liz. Our season is pretty much done except the Japanese iris and our epiphllums. It's nice to still see the bearded. From here one out it's all work (Digging, splitting, labeling and distributing. And of course replanting.)

I think this is the last bloom on Frosted Intrigue.
But then I thought it was done before this opened.
This is my favorite of the two. The blooms last longer.

This is one of my pots of Rainbow Darter. It still has a number of stalks to go.
The petals don't have much substance. They open and close rather quickly.

Usually they don't start blooming until June. This season I'm glad they made it to June.

Just a NoID pink epiphyllum.

We had a heavy rain last night which unfortunately took out a lot of my existing blooms, but some new ones popped up today!

Superstition is in the ancestry of many current black irises. Wonderful old plant.
