CAPTAINS CHOICE

I have no bib-yuck.

do I need to send you a drool bib? I may have an extra. I'll look for it!!!

naomimade..you will have a great time. The weather is iffy for rain most of this week,so bring rain gear and give yourself as much time as possible to stroll through the garden. It is magical! They have azelea,rodies,peonies,poppies,clematis,columbine in every color combo imaginable and the main attraction,the Iris!
It is heaven!

Hi BeaHive... I see what you mean! I just checked weather.com. I'll pray for some sunshine. &:-)

Naomi, I sent you a D-Mail...

Wonderfaul Iris. 'June Krausse'is sure tempting. I'v e yet to find a true pink Iris. Here's Pheasant Feathers.

Anyone recognize this one? The standards are yellow and the white falls are edged in gold with a blue/lavender blush in the center.

Here's Can Can Dancer, but I don't think it's the right one. Yours has a more defined border on the falls, plus the yellow is not the same -- although different cameras could explain that part. Why don't you get on the Cooley's Gardens website and look at their flowers. Somehow I keep thinking I've seen that one there.

Thanks Betja. That one is close. I think I find mine though. Had to go back to one of the 2008 co-ops to see what I ordered. Think it's Enchanted One.

Yes SLRRPPPP Marti, I do need DROOOOLLLL it, if you have an extra. LOL

Steph, I found my extra's!! Not many left, but maybe can part with 1 or 2.

Marti,
You've gone through your jumbo pack already? ROFL

lincolnitess
just beautiful!

I'm going shopping Wednesday and will get a couple of more packs for the next month. Should last as the irises are stopping blooming. BUT!! I forgot the daylilies are starting and the roses and the peonies and the ----------------------- Maybe I should get 3 -4 packs.

The buds are beginning to show color. Can't be too long now! Patience, patience. Was weeding again yesterday. Soil looks really good thanks to all the compost I added last year.

We're still in the height of iris bloom season, though the rains have taken a toll on the open flowers. This is 'Magharee' .

'Tiger Honey'

Leawood Gardener,

That looks more like Afternoon Delight. Tiger Honey is one of the "broken"(broken lines of color like Batik that I know you have) iris colors. A.D. would have been planted next to Tiger Honey when we dug all those up and that could have led to labeling confusion. Sorry for the mixup but there were so many and so close together. You would have gotten this one in the mix, just not the label it apparently left with. So you should definately have Tiger Honey as well.

This is TIGER HONEY.

That's gorgeous - I haven't seen anything like that, but I had several marked 'Tiger Honey', so I'm sure it will show up.

Probably the mix-up happened when I planted in my garden. Sorry for the wrong ID!

I've had this one for several years and never known the name - could it be the 'Helen Collingwood' that you have, Bev?
