Hi all~

I worked at Mid-America Gardens yesterday in preparation for the AIS tour starting this week. I took lots of pictures! Most here are of siberians, but there are some versicolors and pseudacorus hybrids mixed in. Enjoy!

This first one is Siberian Iris 'Book of Secrets'.

Siberian Iris 'Charming Billy'.

Siberian Iris 'Ruffles and Flourishes'.

Siberian Iris 'Lake Keuka'. The depth of blue on this one is amazing!

Siberian Iris 'Lemon Veil'.

Siberian Iris 'Strawberry Fair'.

Siberian Iris 'Mesa Pearl'.

Siberian Iris 'Over the River'. Gorgeous blue color on this one!

Siberian Iris 'Trim the Velvet'.

An iris that should come with a warning label.

He's handsome...but he can be a thug in the garden!

A much tamer I.Pseudacorus hybrid...'Berlin Tiger'.

Versicolor hybrid:

'Versijack'

I.Versicolor x I.Laevigata

Thanks for the Siberian tour. I do think that they are really beautiful. And great photographs. Proves once again that you can't have just one!

Siberian Iris 'In Full Sail'.

I agree, doss. I know I don't have just one...I have MANY and still buying more! LOL!

Siberian Iris 'Steps in Blue'.

I love that clump of 'Pennywhistle'. Where would I put it? Something will have to go to make room I guess! It goes on the list! Thanks for the pics Laura!

Siberian Iris 'Somebody Loves Me'.

Yes, 'Pennywhistle' is a must-have! The single flower is pretty, but when you see it in a clump it's a knockout!

I guess you can always grow it in a large pot if you don't have room in the landscape. :0)

Siberian Iris 'Silberkante'.

Siberian Iris 'Luftschloss'.

Hey, now that's an idea I really hadn't thought of!
