Broken Color Iris- Be Still My Heart!

Thanks Laurie! I will remember that! I am getting so excited about Spring! Can't wait, and all of these beauties just make me more anxious! Wanda, I know you are ready for the explosion in your gardens! They were so beautiful and bountiful last year!

Janet, It bloomed & is pretty, but I can't match the bloom for a name.
Congo Bongo & Lacy Lynx have not bloomed yet, but I did get a shot of shy Python'z Parasol.

I see Toucan Tango is one I added last year from hiddenvalley--isn't he sweet?

How about this strange thing--supposed to be Serengetti Spagetti--blooms different every time. Can't wait to see this year's efforts!

Oh, I like that Spaghetti one! Is is a coral color? I had some old, old, brown ones years ago, that I wish I could find. Do you have any Old Brown ones? The one I had have a touch of cream almost to yellow in it...I wish I had moved it with me every time I moved...LOL That was over twenty years ago!

LaurieF - I am in love with Blueberry Filly. Very nice color!

Margie- Your Tiger Honey seedling is gorgeous. Love the markings.

Anita - Chocolate Moose is also very inviting!

I can't wait for my iris to bloom. I have several broken color iris that didn't bloom last year and I am hoping this is the year for them!

Thank you Texas. Here is another Broken Color tall bearded iris.

Millennium Falcon

This is the other bloom I got from the mystery Kasparek rhizomes--NOT Serengetti Spagetti. Can't wait to see what it does this year!

That spaghetti mystery iris has to be the most interesting iris I've seen yet. I kinda like the idea of it blooming different every time. There would be anticipation with each bud! :)

I like my little Aardvark Anticz IB too--not tall , but early & lots of blooms!

I'm looking forward to Spiced Tiger, Congo Bongo and a couple of other new "broken color" iris blooming this year.

Do you think htis Sonoran Sands IB qualifies?

No, Sonoran Sands is a plicata.

I'm looking forward to more broken colors blooming this year. Waiting is such a drag.

To paraphrase a quote from one of my favorite movies,

"I just GOTTA get me a Bewilderbeast!!!"

Thanks for sharing these lovelies... The "Gnu" series are especially breathtaking, and 'Chocolate Moose' is stunning!

For those of us on tighter budgets or who are not yet hopeless iris addicts, are any of these "broken color" beauties on the less expensive side (under $10)? (please say yes... please say yes.... )

Oh of course, critter. I expect most or all of the irises in this thread could be purchased for substantially less than $10 each.

Laurie, that's great news! Thanks! :-)

I don't buy expensive iris, but I trade alot. Luckily, some pwople out there covet my historics as much as I want their broken color gems. And of course, some of my older clumps like Tiger Honey & Batik have increased enough that I was able to share last summer.
