Here's the beginning of the thread

This is Devonshire Cream. Big and full of ruffles.

Danielle's Love

and Western Tradition. I have to say that Cordoba is a better plant and flower.

"Let's be Friends". And the leaf spot is getting treated this week. It bloomed in a couple of days when the weather warmed up.

Bold as Love. Aren't they all just wonderful?

This one's 'Smokin'

Bold as Love is so pretty! i love the color!

kelly : )

Hi Doss

I LOVE Smokin and Bold is Love, had never seen those in bloom.

Great shots.

D

I love Smokin' and Devonshire Cream. All of them are beautiful, though.

Those two are my favorites also. Thanks for sharing.

Sandy

Dorothie - - Great looking photos/irises!! Will you be putting some of them on/in the Iris Plant Files? I too have 'Devonshire Cream' and 'Smokin'......................... and 'Let's be Friends'. 'Let's be Friends' kind of fades-out badly here, so I probably won't be keeping it. Does it fade for you in CA.?

~Margie

Beautiful photos, there girl. If you ever don't want that Devonshire Cream, I'll try hard to give it a good home. LOL

Let's be Friends doesn't fade too badly here. I did notice that about the plant file photos. But it is it's first year in my garden and it's been raining and cloudy for months now.

And I've put some photos in the plantfiles where you haven't already put a wonderful photo that is comparable. I have noticed that your cultivars tend to fade where you live more than mine do in general. Let's be Friends also doesn't get late afternoon sun which might make a difference.

Glad you like the Devonshire Cream, gardengram. It is a beauty. The man who helps me with my garden has already spoken for it though. LOL too.

Darn!! Just my luck.

Here's Pure and Simple - and yes, Margie. I put it in the plantfiles. :-)

And 'End of Summer'.

Doss ;
they are all lovely.

Thanks, Tazzy

It's fun to share them.

Pure and simple is LOVELY!!!!! Great photos! I'm so glad you're sharing them. :-)

~Margie

I love "Pure and Simple". Don't yellow irises just "pop" in the landscape? Great photo, doss!

Laura

Pure and Simple has wonderful substance too. Tall, strong stalk and a big flower.

If you like yellow, let's turn up the volume with 'What's Up Folks"

I am green with envy. I have a few named varieties and some that my brother sent me from Arizona (no names). One is a beautiful yellow (I have to download pics from camera) I also have tons of an old purple bearded iris that smells wonderful.

They are all beautiful in their own way. I actually just put in some old purple and white iris that were growing in someone's garden. It's so comfortable and sweet.

The first named iris I owned was Golden Glaze. It's an early bloomer and still one of my favorites. I just smile every time I see it. The pictures are taken with my old camera, so no good close-ups.

I think that we've got a yellow theme going here! I smile when I see it too gardengram. I'm so glad that you posted it. It's a beauty.

So many beauties! I love the subtle colors in End of Summer. I have a few dwarfs blooming, but no buds on the tall ones yet. It sure is fun to look at everyone else's while waiting.

Susan

Here's Firestorm a SDB.

Another SDB, Ruby Eruption. Opal Wings and Splash of Red are also blooming. Will get photos of them when the rain stops.

Susan

Rain ?
will do SASE for rain .
we are burning up here

I love the plicata SDB Susan. It's amazing the unlimited variations in the iris world.

Tazzy, I wish I could send you some rain. Not that we have much to spare, but it has been showering on and off all night and morning. I just ran out in my nightgown to take some more photos during a break and there were 3 men from the telephone company behind my house cutting down trees. Decided maybe I'd better run back in and get dress. Now it is sprinkling again.

Susan

So you run outside and take photos in your pajamas too, Susan? I am so glad that someone else does that too.

Here's Electrique

I sure do! The men diappeared for awhile, so I snapped this one of Wizard of Hope. Pretty coloring in Electrique.

Susan

BEYOOTIFUL. So subtle.

This is Sofia by Blyth. The edges of the stands are very pale lavender. I wish it showed in the photo. Beautiful. One of my treasures this year.

Sofia is just gorgeous! Another added to my wish list! :0)

This is Vibrations although from a sort of odd angle.

And Sofia is definitely worth growing.

Could this be City Lights? I'm not sure - one that lost it's nametag.

I've got some more photos! This is Explicit.
