Cinta - you will notice that not all of us have names for our plants. And you will find that it doesn't matter.
FINALLY I have some bloom!
Olympic Challenge - always one of my first TB's to open & Fuzzy Logic - a Space Age
NoID's - both of these. The yellow one has an interesting history. Years ago, when my father moved into an apartment on my sister's property he planted two long rows of iris in her front yard. It was there that I first discovered black iris. My sister lives on a busy street in a Cleveland OH suburb, and people would stop and admire those flowers. A couple of years back, someone asked my sister if she could have some - and do a trade, my sister agreed. Because life interfered, I saw those rhizomes from the trade still sitting on my sister's front stoop in mid- October - she had never gotten them planted.
I stole them. and had no clue what color they were - those stolen iris are these gorgeous yellow ones - there is going to be quite a show with this clump in another few days
Beautiful photos everyone! ~Jan
