MAGNUM BORDEAUX

MOON DAZZLE

DOUBLE STANDARDS

BLUEBERRY FAIR

I really need to move this one. Hidden under poppies and I almost didn't see it.

DANCE AND SING

BIG BLUE

Wow, what a great show! Looks like most of these are tetraploid types based on the fullness of the blooms.

Very nice, Shadow!!!! can't wait for my Sea of Dreams to grow up.
Todd, I said the wrong name. I meant graminea not gracilipes. Proud that I recognized sintensii as a spuria. I'm a learnin'!

Pink Frost is lovely Mittsy!

Love those three fall JIs, Booj!

Fantastic pictures Shadow!

Iris bulleyana...from wild collected seed in Yunnan.

One of the seedlings from my Ruffled Velvet X self...all the rest looked like Ruffled Velvet itself.

Todd. great pictures, thank you for posting and sharing, but now my wish is longer

With others.

I love SMB. One Dana gave me to intro is it's sib. He thought they looked too much alike, but where SMB has a pinkish signal, this one has a dark blue one. I think one more siberian that looks like that won't be too many.

Awww, Minnie likes it there. The catmint is the pink one right?

I love, love, love Tsukiyono with that rose. it really brings out the signal.

Shikizaki x Kachou with peonies.

Here's a close up of minnie. The catmint is a purple pink that is more subtle that the pic.

I like the idea of a blue signal!
Warabe-Uta.

The forestii/chrysog. is amazing, reminds me of orchids, very exotic. My favorite of all your postings. Thank you so much for sharing your photos.

Love the Miyamoto seedling!!! Instant iris lust.

My Japanese are just beginning.

Here's Crystal Halo

And here's the first one I ever received a wrongly marked iris from a major Japanese iris grower. I certainly won't fault them for just one mis named iris out of the hundreds I have purchased from there. Even the iris growers can make mistakes, luckily few and far between.

But I can't resell it, and it is an excellent grower, making a large clump the first year.

I will just have to keep it and enjoy it for myself, dang, darn, shucks.

'NOT' Dark Intrigue

Oh, love Tsukiyono. I don't have any pseudatas yet. Please don't get me started. Already in enough trouble.

Polly, very pretty Crystal Halo and "not" Dark Intrique.
