historic iris ( SWERTII ) Collected in wild 1612
this is the most misname iris there is half the gardens
that have it or think they do has (MadameCheru )
difference is Swertti Falls are always pinch at tip in up fashion .and MC> always opens all the way and hangs down like dog ears on a cold morning MC open pitched but will fully drop before day is over .
And now you know the rest of the story ?
Very Impressive Flowers, Ladies...
I am busy taking notes...
Tazzy--you are just a fount of knowledge! I can alwsy count on you to know the special tidbits...
You keep that up and everybody will find out that you're not just an Okie running lose on the puter....

Ok girls, I'm off too la la land....
Wanda, I LOVE that Edith Wolford. What a beauty!

I put in Edith this past fall. Really looking forward to it too!
Watch out! It's beautiful but Edith Wolford will take over! huge roots & stunning blooms....
I love Soloist--- the photo doesn't do justice to the color & ruffles.
Wanda i left a reply for you here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/478553/
John--has Tazzy smuggled you any iris roots yet? If it works, maybe I can sneak a couple to you too.
Unforgettable Fire is a showstopper!
Not yet Wanda, i hope it works! With seeds it's no problem; sending are getting them was no problem.
Have you seen this one Wanda? I bought it 2 days ago and i'm showing off with it for hole Daves already........lol
It's a winter bloomer Iris unguicularis 'Walter Butt'
You liked my van Gogh with your name on it, huh ;-)
will start my life of crime mid week . LOL
John look out if it ticks I Dont know why ?
Patty,Does it sound like in the movie with captain Hook, tik tak tik tak
Will let you know if your a good criminal or not ...lol
I love Van Gogh, Monet, Da Vinci, Picasso. Want to smuggle me some for my poor newly painted walls?
sure where are my paints and ink ??
i am not a( van go ) but a ( put put artist ) put
paint out pick up and put back in drawer
I'm an artist in my flowerbeds or with a camera. Can't draw a straight line to save my soul.
Very simple Wanda you project a transparency on your wall and get started.
Look what i did at our kitchen wall(but out of free hand)
That's very beautiful John. I have some blank walls in my bedroom.....lol!
John! Beautiful work!!! How long did it take to draw & paint?
It went very quick, i have folowed the academy of art in my younger years.
Here another angle
Beautiful work--you can be very proud of it. I have a friend in Chicago who had an art student paint murals on all her walls. The effect was breathtaking....
I put it on with Oil Paint.
Do you put any sort of protecter over it? It seems it would get worn by the door handle and that would be a shame.
Talk about "come up and see my etchings "
John,s got the best line ever I heard
come up and see my kitchen DOOR ? LOL
Dear Patty i'll do whatever you ask my for, i'll paint even a Thorn Bird on your forehead if you want to,LOL
well i have always wanted iris tattoo on
my -oh theres the phone ?
Yeh Yeah, i got to believe that, LOL
Beautiful John! And yet another hidden talent revealed. My sister-in-law draws freehand and decorates here home with these types of murals. Her oldest son is very into Mythology, castles, dragons and the like. She painted his wall like they were blocks in a castle and it's fabulous. She's done ancient Roman ruins in her living room.
wow great, if i had more time. But a try to spend as much as i can in our garden. Even today it was sunny but freezing -1C° and still was cleaning up the border.
So , Tazzy, where are your OTHER tattoos????
On her dishes......LOL
No wonder she run's out of plates ;-))
Goodnight
Not telling SHH- its a secret ?
My lipp's are sealed ( o o)

Is one Lalique?
