I thought that it would be nice to have a thread were we could share our favorite Iris videos. Our own or others.

This one is from last years bloom at Iris-26. I loved it as it was a very warm and beautiful video. It certainly lifted my spirit and hopefully it can lift yours too.

These 2 vids started my passion years ago.

Inspirational videos, Gabe.
Thanks for sharing

William, what is the Iris at 3:15? Love the music from First Aid Kit too..

Beautiful video, William!

I remember watching those videos Gabe linked when looking for a video on how to pollinate irises. I was thinking that if anthocyanins can appear red, purple or blue depending on pH - that might go some way to explain colour variations in the same iris cultivar in different gardens??

Sherry, although I don't know for sure, I have a strong suspicion that it is 'Clotho's Web' :smily:
Have a look and see what you think yourself:

A beautiful video from the gardens of Iris Lomer in Spain:

They have gorgeous tulip plantings as well! Lovely video, Lilli.

I agree William. Clotho's Web!

And I think this is the first iris videos I have ever watched. Except for a short one Hugh Stout had a year or so ago.

Excellent, Leslie. Now go watch some more and please come back and recommend your favorites

Hopefully, mine will bloom this spring.

What was that super ruffled blue iris around 33 seconds??

Time to dust of this thread and share some favorite iris video finds.
It's still cold outside in many iris lovers gardens, so why not enjoy a little bit of spring and summer here and now.





More info about the videos, who the photographer is and so on, is available by clicking on the YouTube icon in the bottom right corner of the video .

That timelapse is great, William. I'd love to do something like that some day (if only I had the right equipment!) with some of my different plants. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!
Thanks William

William ~ very much! This coming season will be my first year for crossing irises!

Joshua, happy you enjoyed Neil Bromhall's video. I shall hope that you can be able to make a few yourself one of these days. Would love to see them.

Dirt, "Wow!" right back at ya. Acorns!!! Thank you.

Evelyn, your welcome and I wish you much success with your future crosses.

Many thanks to you too, Bonnie.

William ~ It is just a "back yard experiment". It will test my patience for sure!
