another iris garden visit

A few weeks ago I visited fellow club member and friend Anna Littleton's garden. I hae been there before to see the daylilies but this was my first visit to see her iris. Unfortunately my visit was pretty late in her bloom season so i didn't get too many pictures. Also she was too busy with customers to walk around with me and I couldn't find some of the markers so a few of my pictures are unlabeled. But this is a really interesting garden to visit no matter what the season! Here is a really pretty yellow that I couldn't identify.

The marker for this one said ELAINEALOPE

Oops, sorry that was a repeat. How about ANYTHING GOES

Look - Anna even grows stuff on rocks!

Nice pics, lily! Thanks for sharing. I think the one that is labled "Elaine" is actually "Elainealope".

Thanks flowerfrenzy! I'll go fix it (wouldn't you know its the one I entered twice lol!)

Here's one I don't have the name for but now I'm thinking it looks like SQUID SQUIRT which I think I have again later.

Here is an unknown which reminds me of ENGLISH CHARM

DAZZLING GOLD

look at this little frog I ran into. It let me get really close and never moved. Usually I hear them plop into the little ponds scattered around here as I approach.

Thanks for the tour! She loves those broken pattern ones - or you do. :-)

How lovely to visit someone's garden when the iris are blooming. The only thing missing in your photos is the feel of the sun on my face and the fragrance of the iris wafting in the wind.

I was clambering over the little bridge it was resting by to get a better look at this pitcher plant tht was in bloom. I have never seen one in bloom before.

I love to visit this garden Doss, I always see something new. And when I feel overwhelmed by all I have to do in my garden I can come here and get recharged.

Here's a neat one I didn't get the name for.

Another one I don't have the name for.

Very pretty. I'm beginning to like the reds more and more but haven't any yet.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I enjoy touring other people's gardens so much even if only online. Looks like such a peaceful place.

Lily I love Exclusivity, I made yet another puddle of drool on my keyboard when I saw it. Is the hybridizer Russian?

I like that one too! Being kind of new to iris I don't know much about the hybridizers yet. I looked it up in Dave's plantfiles and I see the hybridizer is Innerst and it was intro'd in 1999. I recognize the name but I really don't know anything about him.
