It's beardless iris season

Boojum, Neat Trick looks just like mine. The falls are flaring, not droopy. Yours do seem to be a little cupped at the end of the falls, is that what you mean?

Great pics as always!

Talked to my iris friend and she said it can have an odd form. I meant that the bottom edge of the falls are not uniform.

So I spent the day giving tours of my garden! What great fun. Thirty two people showed up to oo and ah! Exhausted here. Good night!

Glad that you had folks to admire all of your hard work. Your gardens are so beautiful.

How lucky your tourists are to see such a beautiful garden up close. The pictures are lovely, but I bet seeing it all up close has to be a whole lot better.

I saw a few visitors at work and they are happy campers that they came!

Really nice to have visitors to admire. But to live in that paradise every day is special. It's a combo of growing plants really well, having a great artists eye, and a heck of a lot of hard work.

Don't forget, good soil and good bright light! Thanx Polly!

Here's Drowsy Maggie.

Oh....! I like that Drowsy Maggie.

Anne Marie Troger. She is more lavender than this pic.

Yes! Drowsy Maggie is so wonderful!
But so is Summer Revels!

And look at the blooms on Diana Blue today.

Countess Cathleen has more blooms today. She has been tricky to grow here.

Pink Peaks, a versicolor.

Ranman looks sandwashed.

Roaring Jelly again.

White laevigata.

Sibtosa Princess.

White pseudacous.

Wow! These beardless are outstanding! I ordered my first 2 Siberians this year. I can't wait to see them in bloom. With pictures like yours I will have to have more yet.

Boojum, I am in iris overload, but blissfully happy with the show. I swear all these could not have been in the garden on June 3 when I had my tour. Did you put in a second story or is there a secret garden that I missed. Diana Blue is an explosion and my new fav has to be Summer Revels or Dance Suzy. But I could change my mine any second as I love them all. Thanks for the visuals and inspiration. Patti

That pic in Post #3608462 is just a WOW!

WOW, your garden and land is beautiful!! and the iris just beyond words .......Sharon

Polly I was going to say that (but I had to go out and get the lawn mowed first)! And Countess Cathleen is beautiful. I can't believe how far hybridizing the sibs has come since I purchased my first in the early nineties. Boojum all of your beardless irises are just drop dead gorgeous! I just wish I had a bigger yard....

lovely, boojum!

I do love my siberians the best as you can tell. There are still a few more to go and the japanese have buds, although the rose show is next!! Patti, yes they were all here about to explode! They were just trying to be foliage plants then.

I just posted some iris pictures for id's in the wrong forum. Boojum and anyone else who could help me could you check these out. Thank, how dumb am I? Patti

Boojum,
Your garden is magnificent. It is an inspiration to all of us. The siberians are incredible. I did not know how beautiful they could be. But you obviously have lots of other beautiful plants. Congratulations on creating such a beautiful garden. Few parks are as nice.
Betty

Patti, too hard to id sibs! Many are so similar. Is the first white kobana with small flowers?

Here's Sky Wings.

Tridentata.

Jaybird.

Percheron clump.

Frosty Rim.

Nice NOID from Polly. Nice color.

Frosted Cranberry.

I like Sky Wings and Jaybird! I saw one today that a seller referred to a "the reddest one" but it still looked purple to me. What does that mean? Is it hard to get pinks like the bearded variety used to have trouble achieving?

A Siberian novice I am. Can you tell?

The reds are hard to get. But if you put those "reds" next to the rest of the blues, purples, and yellows, you'd definitely refer to them as "red" in comparison, even though they are purple-reds. The versicolors and Japanese are the best pinks. Do you remember the name od the "reddest" one?

I understand now.

In going back to the site to id the plant, I realize that I misquoted the site. It is one that is "different than any other red". The website is www.homesteadfarms.com I began my search looking for a peony named Red Charm as someone told me that was the reddest one in the peony world. I was amazed at some of the new iris gardens I had discovered in the process. Now to check watchdog.
