I'd like Jumping Jack Flash for the name alone even if it weren't that beautiful color. I can quote entire passages from that movie.

I think it is a catchy name and a lovely iris. I don't have too many broken color ones but I really do like this one.

Very pretty Rita, thanks for posting the pictures ~Jan

I like visiting Royalty its got nice color

Nigerian Raspberry was the only new one to open today.



But the iris garden has lots of Dutch Iris blooming and the TB are just, just starting.



Here is Iris Row in the backyard.



And AMAZING DON is really blooming in a lovely clump.

Very pretty, Rita. What is the two toned blue, do you know?

VISITING ROYALTY.

Thanks, adding to my list!

I got it at Schreiners. I love the iris with two colors like that as I think they are very dramatic.

WOW Rita, I think you have some of the prettiest flowers in your garden. Pursuit of Happiness is stunning! Only one thing for Amazing Don, amazing! Love the TB Iris, all of them. Thank you for putting a llink on the daylily side.

A lot of the daylily people do also grow iris so I thought some of us might be interested. Mona, thanks for the compliments. I do like ruffled iris with lovely colors.

You have some nice blooms coming! Waiting for them to open is pure torture, then when they're gone we wish they would have lasted longer. But the good news is I can view everyone elses blooms while I'm waiting on mine. Keep the show rolling!

These were blooming yesterday.

GRAPE EXPECTATIONS is my favorite of this group. thank you Rita

Really love your pic of Starring. I have that one, and have babied it along for a while, not to hearty here, but it's got a bloom stem this year. Grape Expectations is nice too, I also have that one. You're garden pics are really nice too!

Thanks guys! I really like the color of GRAPE EXPECTATIONS myself. Louscious purple. STARRING is easy here. I don't do anything special to it at all.

*Starring* took a couple years to settle in here -- this year it produced bunches of blooms. You might be surprised, Tom.

I also have *Winter Waltz* -- I love to see it blooming in other people's gardens.

Other than those two, my pick was *Grape Expectations*. What wonderful coloration!! Also loved *Crackling Caldera*!!

I really like Crackling Caldera that picture is great the flower just glows and Jamaican Brew is something special too.
