Our stalk of Solstice finally opened last Thursday (I'm a little slow posting this). I thought the buds were dried up but it surprised me with a bloom. It's actually the second iris to bloom this year but I didn't get a photo of Double Overtime when it bloomed right after the new year. But it's got another stalk. It should bloom in a week or two.

A really pretty one Mika.

I haven't been able to figure out how to download pictures from my camera since I got a new Mac (first Apple product that I haven't liked).. So these are from my phone from the past week... color representation isn't as good as my camera..

Daphne, I'm not sure if they're early, or reblooming... 'Crimson King', 'Flower Shower', and 'Grape Echo' can go off at any time.. and these aren't their first blooms this year.
