That picture's worth saving.

It's raining today here, some more blooms opened, but I'll have to wait for pictures. Temps cooled down some too. We really need this rain and it's coming down slowly so it will soak in and not run off. Guess it's a day to stay inside and do house chores.

Mmmmmmmm cherries! Lucky you.

Well, the rain has let up a bit, still some drizzle, but I did take a few pictures of wet irises. Some look so nice when wet, and others not so much

I love this one, Backtrack. A gift from Dirt. Sure is cute and an excellent grower too.

From the top! The color is more correct in the above picture.


Baby Blessed starting to clump up nice.


What Again wet clump


Woody Woodpecker clump.

Got too wet to take more, maybe it will stop soon.

Off and on rain, who doesn't love that?

Lovely clumps, Tom!

I am noticing several TB stalks forming in the beds near the house.

Tom ~ Lovely littles!

Hi Tom, do you still have that unknown red that you shared with many? Did you ever ID it? I've lost soooo many iris to gophers, (I keep them in a seperate category here in case a piece some how survives so I can ID it https://garden.org/lists/view/... ) looking at my loss list is depressing but that iris is a nice sized clump now and blooming. I'll add photos in next post from my phone.

It's so vibrant!!

Yes, I still have my World Famous Red NOID, I'll always keep some of it. No ID yet. I think I love the fragrance of it most of all.

I managed to get some pictures this morning once the sun came out. Still kind of wet outside yet after yesterday's rains. Some of them will show nice diamond dusting, but you might have to expand them to see it.

Alaia, I just can't get enough of this little beauty.
