Here's Guernsey Cream already blooming. Unfortunately, a hailstorm a week ago marred the blossoms:

I don't know, Janice. I took a photo of the first bloom on my Pink Champagne yesterday, but it had an ugly spider in it, so I decided not to post it anywhere. However, for the sake of identification, here it is:

Yup - that's an ugly spider!

I'm not sure either Janice, but it's a pretty combo with your iris.

Thanks, Chris and Zuzu.

The sun went due to a rainstorm earlier and the color looked entirely different...again...more like Zuzu's photo. I will have to get another photo.

I like that Iris muchly muchly.

Here is the Florida sieboldii with more more open blooms.

Only have half a dozen clems at the moment, but for durability, beauty, toughness, and repeat bloom, I'll take this one every time.

I hope everyone's adding these lovely photos to the database. If you don't want to deal with finding them in your photo files, just click on your photos and propose them for inclusion in the database. You'll get an extra half-acorn if you do it that way.
