My iris season started off early with the iris reticulatas, which bloomed in February.

Iris reticulata 'Alida'


Iris historiodes 'George'


Iris reticulata NOID


Iris reticulata 'Eye Catcher'


Iris reticulata NOID

They're beautiful Mary You just reminded me that I need to order some more reticulatas.

Those are very beautiful, Mary.

At the end March my Iris Germanica bloomed. I did not get a picture.

And since then the following dwarf and intermediate iris have bloomed.

Iris 'Ice and Indigo'


Iris 'Voldy's Mink


Iris 'Midsummer Night's Dream'


Iris 'Cat's Eye'

And more iris.

Iris 'Indian Chief'


Iris 'Man's Best Friend'.


Iris 'Celestial Explosion'

Still posting

Iris 'Alice Harding'


Iris 'Barnie'



Iris 'Table for Two'

I LOVE your photo of Barnie. Very velvety and a nice form.

Thank you Bonnie. I love iris with blue beards.

The iris cristata have taken over my shade garden this year. I think they thrive on rain and cold. They are native to this area and grow all through the woods on my property.




Iris cristata 'Abbey's Violet'

Beautiful blooms Mary!
My Barnie opened today too. I will try to post a picture tomorrow.

I am annoyed by this NOID. It does not have a tag, and it does not match anything in my records. It is so full of itself that one would think I would remember having planted it. It is about 24 inches tall. I am enclosing multiple pictures. Suggestions anyone?










And this picture of it before it started blooming. This iris is a hot mess.

Mary,

I like your "Hot Mess" NoID. I have an NoID that is all over the place at my house.




When you thin them out I would gladly take a few off your hands. I'll have tons of mine...

Richard,

I will be happy to send a few your way this fall. They will definitely need to be divided.

very lovely collection mary. i am enjoying the posts.

Beautiful blooms and garden Mary.

Mary's NoID reminds me of Epicenter. I checked out Epicenter's children and Brickle is about the right height and may be a possibility:

Check out Keppel's iris in our database. He has many that look like yours.

I thought it looked a lot like Epicenter as well. If it were not for the height, I would say that it looks like a dead ringer for Epicenter. It definitely is not Brickle.

A few iris that bloomed yesterday.

Bewilderbeast—I know some of you do not like this iris, but I giggle every time I see her. When an Iris makes you laugh, you know you're on to a good thing.
