You may or may not recall that I visited the Merian Gardens on 20 May this year and mentioned that I would upload the photos to the database. I actually promised to do it before Christmas and well, lookie here Christmas is only three weeks off so I think I better get a move on. I will be uploading most of the photos to the database and will reserve this thread for the ones that seem to be incorrectly labelled and maybe someone can ID them (some visitors do weird things with labels  )In the meantime, here is a reminder of what the gardens look like      Just as a matter of interest, they also have a great Peony collection but we were a little early to see them in full bloom. This is one we did see: Paeonia x suffruticosa 'Kintei'   |

| Please link the ones you upload, too. Your thread. Fill it up! This is fun: The thread "Asa's former lawn...or (better) Dirt's current gardens" in Garden Photos forum I update this sometimes: https://garden.org/blogs/view/... |

| As I said, I will only be using this thread to post those of questionable ID's. Here is the first - looks nothing like the database pic: Eldorado - Vilmorin    If somebody can confirm the ID, please let me know and I will upload to the database. |

Great images, Sharlene!  Your picture of TB Shadrach even made my DH say that he had to admit irises are 'nice indeed'. That never happened before!  You don't know if it will grow until you try! |

| I had a little trouble finding 'Elizabeth Poldark' in the database - the Merian Garden label spells it with an 's' and not a 'z' Searching the internet confirmed that it is spelt with a 'z' - mistakes can happen   |

I have filled the 'recent images' with iris so I am going to give it a break and carry on tomorrow. It has actually been fun going through the photos again and it made me wonder what the Merian Gardens do with all their increases  I have never heard of them selling iris - maybe I should contact them next season around dividing time  Night all ... |

| Good idea. Maybe they throw them out, or the employees get to take them home. The more one gardens, the more one learns; and the more one learns, the more one realizes how little one knows. Vita Sackville-West |
