Welcome to Part 2 as the season continues and the pictures keep coming in. Hope to see some pictures from all of you that haven't posted yet!

Might as well start things off with a classic historic iris - Quaker Lady. There has been discussion if the mauve and pinkish mauve standards are the same iris. Here are pictures of both from my garden and from the same clump. I wonder now if it is more pinkish when newly open and then ages into the mauve.

This is Swept Off My Feet - a pretty plicata, but one that is up for grabs. It really isn't doing it for me.
