I've got to pace myself, as I've got flipping COVID again. Sighing! my husband keeps bringing it home with him from work trips. ... Thumbs down

I've got heads on some irises that have never before bloomed for me before! Like King's Reign, Man's Best Friend, Valley of Dreams, and Wabash. I'm so excited.
(Kings Reign was on its last chance. I was going to move her to the pot ghetto! Three years! Too long for the central location I put it in.

Mystery plants too! I had to scramble and uproot some plants last year because of a borer issue. Some got mixed up. I think I lost My Gal entirely. May have lost Lusciousosity, and that will not stand. I'll have to buy it again.

Folks keep posting your photos. Please. Thank You!
Really cheers me up. I know I can't be the only one.

Anyway, opening soon:
Superstition
Imbroglio
Rings True
Asian Plum
Signs of Hope
Frank Adams
Mystery IB

*Looks like* these aren't going to flower this year.
Magnetisme
Pleasure All Mine (😫 nooo)(from last year)

Merry Madrigal (these had to be uprooted last year. She's usually reliable.) (Here she is last year.)

Australian Rose
Ruffled Goddess
Others.

Gay Romance may be lost. It got chewed on pretty significantly last year. Here it was with Lusciousosity.

Oof. Here's a better look at some of the damage it went through.
