Tall Bearded Iris & iris Beds # 2

John i had to send it by boat and that was $19.00 USA
air mail was $27.00 just couldn't afford now that DH is retired .

This was taken at Sutton's in 2002. Very hard to get a picture that shows all of the iris in any one field.

Maxine

Will post more later.

That is amazing!!

Patty you got mail ;-)

Maxine, oh my gorgeous!

Here I am coming up for air---

Wow! 55 differnt people ordering spiders & changing orders & running out... I feel like I've been running a marathon. All caught up now. We'll see how the rest goes....

John, you're getting wise to my tricks--I'll have to think of some new ones!

Tazzy--does US Customs know about you?

Moi ? ?
My name is, Joan Honkenfalker .
((( AND I AM INNOCENT ?)))

Oh hi !
Thats big Bertha s real name she been
using her middle name instead of first .
Joan Bertha Halkenfalker Is she flirting and trying
to get Lil old me in trouble?

HELLLLOOO! Bertha! Come on down.... Hey Bertha, are you one of the Butt sisters? Sorry . Old song running htru my head. Maybe running over my head.

It's getting late and I spent the day moving our older daughter back out of our house & "feathering her new nest". Oh, Blessed Peace descends upon us once again & I get more time on the compouter.

But why did she have to move to a THIRD FLOOR apartment? My aching back wants to know!

That Suttons photo is great Maxine!!! We're patiently waiting for more. While we wait - - take look at this clump of white dutch iris.

And this one is "Palm Reader". It's a luminata plicata - Tall Bearded.

This "broken colored" iris is named " Congo Sunset.

This is "Cuss a Blue Streak". a real beauty. I took this photo over at a friends house. I might just have to get one! :-)

Suttons no. 2

Tulip Festival no. ? Forgot where I am. Too early in the morning!

Will post pictures of my flower beds taken in 2003. Last yr. was a complete wash for keeping weeds and quack grass out of beds, as I was in bed with my back for around 2 months.

Maxine

And last, but not least.

Maxine

Ah shoot, I knew that I should have went back and seen what I had posted. Please forgive an old lady. It is early here in Wisc, you know?
Please for give me?

Maxine

Happens to everyone i think ;-)

Maxine, beautiful Iris and Tulips, too. For a minute there I thought those were YOUR gardens and amazement abounded. Talk about early in the morning. What am I doing up? I dunno.

Ok, change of pace. one of my flower beds in the yr. of 2003.

Maxine

I should be locked up. Hit the wrong button.

Maxine

another one for the day. Going to purchase fabric for another quilt for G.D.

Maxine

Is there no hope for me. Another wrong hit!!

Maxine

Wow that was stunning what the tall
yellow flower blooming behind the Peony's ?

At my oppinion are the yellow flowers daylilies, Patty

but tall bearded Iris and peony's bloom a month before DL ?
i have one that does Bloom same time its Bitsy ? But that the only one i know of and its short .this is tall in blooms pic.

I saved and zoomed in at the yellow plant and guess, i still think it's a daylily LOL
I could be wrong because your explanation makes sence, or i most have terrible bad eyes ;-)

Tazzy, I have an old yellow daylily that blooms with the peonies & irises--Spring Larken. It's VERY early. Where were you when I was throwing up clumps last spring???

Sorry, I don't have a daylily on the place. Don't like them!
Yellow flowers are an asiatic lily that was given to me.

Maxine

Huh? The yellow ones on the right ? They look like daylilies to me? Need to get me some new glasses....

Me too 8-)

Patty we were both wrong 8)

About Cuss A Blue Streak--I want 1, I want 1!!

Love the name, too.

Not that I've ever done that!! Lol.
