This should be fun and motivating!

My first choice is Definition (Sutton 2011), which I planted yesterday after misplacing it for a week or so.


The second iris is Blind Ambition (Keppel 2016) - planted 8 to 10 days ago.


The third iris is Urban Cowgirl (Schreiner 2013) - planted 8 to 10 days ago also.

Hi Barbie! Is this your first post to the Iris forums? Don't remember your name from before. So -- if I'm right --

Another Iris/horse person, right?

I've posted a few things before. I've been lurking here for several years, so I finally decided to participate. It seems like an awesome group!

Yes, I'm a horse person also. Unfortunately, they are mostly pasture ornaments these days.

Hello Barbie. I'm looking forward to seeing those bloom.

Pasture ornaments. Never heard it put that way before. Like it.

I have a few of those, would you like some???? they eat grass! No more mowing, and ready made compost generators.

That's the best description I can come up with. All seven of them are very pretty out in the pasture. Fortunately, we have grazing most of the year. They are very sweet and love people, so they get to stay.

Well build me a fence and knock down the neighbors house.....

I had a friend who raised cows. We used to joke about rent-a-cow grass maintenance.

Horses and Iris Lovers on this site I am currently horseless, but I do still love them! My new Daughter in Law may bring a couple of hers back to the farm. It would be nice to look out and see one at the barn again.

We no longer have horses--irises in the pasture because it has sun. I do miss them/

Mine are out there! Beleaguered by the horse flies -- which are horrid this year. Tom -- do you have an excessive horse-fly population this year? The dangs things are everywhere!!!!

I haven't seen the large horse flies yet, but the heal flies are driving them crazy. Even the best fly repellents only seem to help for about an hour.

Don't know about "heal flies".........

We have deer flies also which can be a real bother.

Deer flies bite all the time. Can't stand them. They have become a real problem at the beaches in Michigan.

I think it was the horse and deer fly that always attacked us while swimming in the lakes in Michigan

*posted at the same time lol*

I pulled one off the Friesian that I was riding today that had Boeing written under its wing.....

My horses at home are still on night time turn out until the weather breaks to avoid the pests.

Still fighting, but nothing special yet...maybe in May
