Iris in Renton!

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

I'm so glad, I was happy to see Pallida (always the first) but here are some pics along with some new to us for this year -

I photographed this one last year, but I thought worth sharing a pic again -

Gorgeous iris, Sue. My Starship Enterprise didn't bloom as nice as yours, and it was small-I think I'm going to move it to a better spot.

Sandy, Iris are so hard for me to figure out! Some I plant and they go on and bloom the very next season, some others I plant and it takes 3-4 years to see a bloom. And I'm talking same size rhizome's too.

I moved our Honey Glazed last year and this year it came up with much smaller blooms. I expect in another year or two it will be back up to speed. Well, I hope so anyway. LOL.

Lovely! Iris are my DH's passion, but in catering to his likes I've grown to love them. Thanks for sharing. Your 'Bountiful Harvest looks the same as mine in person, my camera interprets it darker than it really is.
