Those are all beautiful. !

Wow Sandy, You have some breath-takingly beautiful photos! The dark background on Trillion is especially effective I think. Have you tried it on others? Rustic Royalty and Tanzania Tangerine are going to the top of my must have list. Do you have a source for these?
Sharon

Sandy-
Love the rare treat and conspiracy!

Your picture of trillion does it much more justice, than mine, lol...great shot to show the blue in the falls...

Are you, or are you making, an iris farm? Sure looks like everything is in neat rows...

Ooooooooooooh, (THUD!!!)

How gorgeous are those?? So many 'must have's' amongst them.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous irises Sandy.

Terri

Thanks everyone.

Sharon, The dark background was accidental it was getting dark fast and I used the flash. :-) I can try a few more like that. The lady I got Rustic Royalty and Tanzanian Tangerine from had a small iris farm, but she's having health problems, so I'm not sure if she's still open. Depending on how they increase, I may be able to trade with you later on.

We have acreage, so it's easier to have everything in rows, and use the small tractor for weed control. My husband dreams of having an iris farm when he retires, but we'll see how it goes. Right now we're experimenting and having fun. This is the first year of blooms, and retirement is still quite a few years away. Right now it's a nice hobby. :-)

Sandy

Terri, LOL. I have been enjoying your beautiful iris and pictures, too.

Thanks Anita.

Sharon, Rainbow Iris Farm has Rustic Royalty and Tanzanian Tangerine. I ordered from them last year with no problems.

Thanks. Here's a historic iris that Wanda sent me. It's such a delicate shade and smells great too. Thank you Wanda, :-).

I'm having a hard time capturing the rich color of this iris.

LOCAL COLOR

You've done a beautiful job with all of them. Great photos - and I appreciate you posting them all. I know that it takes a long time.

Since the weather warmed up they are coming up faster than I can take photos.

The variety is endless isn't it? Each one is a work of art. Thanks Sandy.

Thanks doss. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the new ones too. I injured my knee six months ago, and although it has improved, I can't move as fast, or go as far as I used to. That's the down side of having acreage. :-)

Here's a few more from today.

THORNBIRD

You need sunglasses for this one.
