You sure did Mary Ann, I'm sure we could do that for a few weeks with this idea if you begin another thread each week, what do you think?

Celia -- the way the shadows are hitting that bloom, it looks striped! Very cool photograph!! And I love the shade of blue, too!!!

Sue -- that's a pretty one -- the orange beards sure show up against those dark falls!!

I think that's a good idea, Tom -- we could call it Irises By The Alphabet, Part 2!! Guess I should do that tonight, too -- so we get a full week!!

But if you keep it here, it will stay as a large record beating thread.

A beauty, Kent!!

Sue -- is there actually recognition for that?

And I think all the posts entered this coming week will be counted for next week even if the thread is not new. Anyone know? It would be neat for the same thread to hold the record til spring by starting the alphabet over or letting us post alpha from our wish list?

Congrats on the thread count Mary Ann!

I don't have too many "F" iris. Ya'all have beaten me to most of my favorites, so today it will be...

Fiesta Time

This one makes me think of warmer weather!

Oh Pam -- that's gorgeous!! One of my favorite color combinations!!

Good morning everyone. Sun is shining here and I plan to get out some today. My favorit 'F' that has bloomed in my yard is 'French Riviera' T.Johnson 2009. Some lovely ones posted already this morning...fun!




Here's another I've loved through the years..'Fondation Van Gough' Anfosso 1990

I do have some F's but I am going to go with a favorite of mine, Frosted Velvet: Give you a 1, 2, 3!

I have always thought Fondation Van Gough was a beauty. Really nice pic Nancy!

Thanks Leslie. I've thought about adding Frosted Velvet...looks really pretty.

It is a good grower. Puts up lots of blooms too.

I now have Fogbound and Frosted Velvet thanks to Mary Ann and Leslie.


Going with more than one today (hey, it's Saturday, why not ).
Fashionably Late



Fashionista



Fit for a King

Debra, I have 'Fashionably Late' and the color is incredible! When people see my pictures they always ask 'is it really that color?' YES it is. Beautiful choice

Nancy, I have always thought Fondation Van Gough was pretty, but your picture is gorgeous and it's now going on the gotta have list.
Mary Ann, congrats on the thread, and if you keep going on this thread by spring I think we will all have more blooms pictures of last years purchases.
