I keep mine outside too. Always interesting to learn what other iris addi... growers are doing!

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Welcome to the forum Rik!
Hope you'll post pictures of your crosses when they bloom.. In the meantime, keep posting your blooms.. I don't think any of us get tired of looking at pictures of Iris

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

I have Kent Pride, it is a beautiful iris, it grows well here and it has the most PBF of any iris I have ever seen.

The registered height for Kent Pride is 30 inches (76 cm) according to the iris database. I think mine is a bit taller though - but that could be because it lives on a little hill to avoid getting too wet in winter...

Welcome Rik! I looked up Kent Pride. It's a very pretty plicata! It's always nice to meet new iris gardeners! Thanks for dropping in and sharing your iris photos!

Hi Rik,
The Iris on the left could be "Hells Fire". Mine is very dark when it first opens and the colour changes a lot depending when it is in the sun compared to it in the shade. It is always my first tall bearded iris to bloom.
