My irises are blooming earlier this year. Many of them all at once, so I was unprepared to post them as dailies. I will post a few at a time, all under this thread beginning. I dislike the month of August because of all the plantings, but it makes Spring a happier time when I see all the newbies in the garden. I missed a few blooms like SOLAR MAX, AWAKE and a few others due to camera malfunction. Here's my favorite photographed newbie so far, SPOT OF TEA.
Spot of Tea is gorgeous! Reminds me of milk chocolate.
Susan
I love the color. another for my wish list.
Winnie
Loving that one! :0)
Laura
African Wine MDB
Elephant Footprint SDB
Indian Chief TB Historic
Fast Forward IB
Last one for now. This one is from Leon. Yankee Skipper SDB -- maiden bloom
Thanks so much. I just love the SDB and since they don't really grow here this is the only opportunity I have to really see them. They are little jewels.
OMG you ladies are bad. Next year I may be bad and buy all the above.LOL
Lavina
Gorgeous Little Historic SDB. Angel Baby.
For all you martial arts fans. Little Black Belt SDB.
Music SDB
One last maiden bloom for now. SWEETHEARTS AGAIN reblooming SDB.
Today I have one of each bearded class in bloom. MDB, IB, SDB, BB, and TB. I tried to get my bloom periods for each class varied last year. I poured over the catalogs and websites to find very early blooms (VE) to very late (VL). I hope Towering Finale and others like it will be having a bloom this year.
Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing! :0)
Hi Roni-
Good to see your post. With all the new ones you got last year, I expect to see lots of pictures in the next few weeks.......
Neil
All of your irises are beautiful. I've added Spot of Tea and Little Black Belt to my (ever growing) wish list.
Thank you for sharing your pictures.
Terri
Terrie we apparently have the same taste I just add these two as well
LOL

My Little Black Belt turned out to be Auroralita (probably). As much as I like Auroralita, I would like to find the real LBB to add to my collection, as well. I also have been coveting Music. I'll have to get my hands on that one, too.
Laurie
Let's see, does the law of supply & demand work as well here as it does at the gas pumps? LOL...
Neil, Ziggy's got a bud! Will let you know more when it opens.
Here's a few more. Gnu Generation SDB/BC.
First Sensation SDB
Cat's Hat IB
One more for now. This one is a maiden bloom novelty TB.
Alien Mist.
I have 'Alien Mist' as well. It always blooms along with my IBs for some reason~not that I mind!
Cat's Hat is fantastic! I may have to get Alien Mist-I'm a big X-Files fan. :-)
Sandy
Last of the MDB for this season. I missed BLUE DOLL with the camera but the reblooming ROYAL MAROON managed to survive severe temperature changes as did GRAPELET.
Here's GRAPELET. I also missed TINGLE's single bloom too.
Here's a few more SDBs and here's ALENE'S OTHER LOVE to prove that not everything is glamorous in my garden.
Here's RAINBOW RIM at the end of a very stormy weekend.
I see my wish list is going to be growing again. Some of those first ones are so unusual, at least from my viewpoint. Who is your supplier?
Let's see, last year I had numerous trade plus ordered from Blue J Iris, Winterberry Gardens, Snowpeak, Malevil, Fred Kerr, and some from the Lily Auction.
This year I want to get...well I'll start another thread for that informtion. GRIN.
I very much like Rainbow Rim. I've never seen that one before. Quite nice!
