I have been enjoying all the blooms from the Southern and Western gardens. Spring comes a bit later to Pennsylvania. Mother Nature's crazy antics have scrambled the bloom sequence here again this season. There are a mixture of minis and talls beginning to make their appearance. Three weeks ago... ![]() A teaser from this week... ![]() |

It sure is! How many irises are planted there Pam? Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing? |

I have a few smalls in the front garden, but after drooling over all those being posted by Bonnie, Tom, Les and Queen Liz I suppose I will be adding some more this year. Always the first to bloom is the tiny Rivulet. This one actually sent up a bloom stalk at Christmas time, which froze before it could open. ![]() ![]() Next up was Outspoken. This came from the '16 PNW sale. Love the colors on this one! ![]() ![]() Dee's Apricot Berry made a grand show this year! ![]() Bluebeard's Ghost haunted a little corner of the garden. Such a cutie! Thanks Arlyn! ![]() ![]() |

Gorgeous, Pam! Rivulet is a real cute iris. Is it an MDB? Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing? |

grannysgarden said:It sure is! How many irises are planted there Pam? Many, many! (But ever enough) ![]() There are slightly under 500 varieties in total scattered around the farm, but this bed contains "patches" of each..... so I couldn't even begin to come up with a total. |

A great start to the season! My first TB opened yesterday, got a poor pic of it late with a flash, but will have to try to find time to take a pic today. Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |

Pam wow!!! What an amazing show that will be, I can't wait to see! I absolutely love your little ones. It's great that we all have slightly different ones. Apricot Berry is so pretty, I must locate that one ![]() |

I had it and lost it to the rot plague last year. ![]() It’s okay to not know all the answers. |

Tom and Lilli The waiting is hard , especially when so many others are posting such beautiful pictures.....but better late than never! Liz and Debra I should have extra this year! |

Like other areas of the country, the weather here has been strange to say the least. A recent cool and rainy spell has held off the bloom on the Talls. Just a few of them have braved the slightly cooler than normal temps. One of the first to show was Blatant. This is an older iris, but one that I have been waiting for two years to see. ![]() Delirium followed..... Honestly that could describe my life in general! ![]() ![]() It took awhile, but Tessie the Tease finally opened up! She is a single bright spot in the far side of the garden. Thanks Greg! ![]() ![]() ![]() Star Woman popped out in mass! Love this one! ![]() ![]() There is also one lone bloom on a clump of Daughter of Stars. As usual, it is a huge, beautiful thing. ![]() Waiting impatiently for the rest of them to warm up enough to open. |

Remain patient, because it sucks when the show is coming to an end. |
