Awesome, Jane! Your talls are ahead of mine, but I do have stalks and some starting to show color. Bloom times have been wonky this year in my garden, IBs and SDBs blooming later, some MTBs and TBs blooming earlier, and various ones blooming together that don't typically. I'm particularly loving your orange ones! ![]() "...and don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous." Rumi |

Jane- wonderful blooms. Thanks for posting. Question "Hollywood Nights" above? Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Hollywood Nights') Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28 MY BLOG |

Should be "Hollywood Lights" I think! Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Hollywood Lights') |

You are right about the Hollywood LIGHTS! I have them both and saw that I misnamed it somewhere else this morning. It is a first year bloom for me. Bought it last year from Stout. It is much prettier than the picture! |

Being the Show Chair is hard work. Well, the show is finally over and I can relax and enjoy my irises before the record setting heat comes to KY. I won Best of Show, Best Dark Iris, Best Pink Iris and Best Design of Show. I was just thrilled!!! Ghost Train just happened to have 3 blooms open that morning all at once and none touching! They were in perfect candelabra form. Didn't pay much attention to it when I cut it, just looked pretty and I had many more that I thought were more beautiful. ![]() |

I will post more photos when people send them to me cause I was so busy taking tags off and answering questions and worrying about the sweepstakes that I didn't have time to take more photos. I have some that I am in but they are not me at my best, but here goes.![]() ![]() Notice that my shirt matches the show schedule which was beautiful. The design was a little worse for wear after transporting it home. It had By Jeeves as center with a tall white and Stellar Lights on each side plus snap dragons, purple rocket and pink hydrangeas which fell out on the way home and some lime green filler plants. I made it in about 20 minutes in order to get it on the table in time. |
