Carnival Song.

Here's my Victoria Falls.

Sandy Beach. Just tell me if you're getting tired of me.

Both of those spurias are quite lovely -- Color Focus and Adriatic Blue. I have never grown spurias but hear they do well in the west. I just may have to try on one of these days. as for Not Blackout, I don't recognize it at all, but it is really beautiful. If you can't get rid of it and are inclined to toss it -- I would cheerfully take it off your hands. I generally don't keep the ones I don't have a name for, but that one is unusually nice.

I notice that your Victoria Falls is very blue. Mine is more purple. I wonder if mine is labeled correctly. I have always heard that VF is blue.

No, I, at least am not getting tired. Keep sending your favorites (at least that is what I think.).

Love Sandy Beach.

Paj, if you ever want to try spurias, let me know, I'll share with you. And yes, I'll share my Not Blackout (clever) with you if I can't ID it. Spurias do very well here and really don't take much care.

It's funny, when I check the irises in the plant files of other people that have the same ones, the colors seem to vary drastically. Even the pictures in the plant files that several people have posted are somewhat different.
Do you have a picture of your Victoria Falls?

"Cupid's Arrow" is gorgeous! I gotta get that one too!

Absolutely wonderful weather here dee. A sneak preview of spring is what today was, I washed windows and mowed the grass.
Yes I did have plenty of time on my hands and was going through my pictures, I'd love to post all of the blooms from last year but.....
Marilyn so now that's 2 you want right? So far! I'll trade with you.

Louise, ..................that has got to be the best picture I've ever seen of CUPID'S ARROW. You must put that in the Plant Files! I lost my Cupid's Arrow a couple years back due to grubs. I've got to get another one of those!!

D, those are a lot of lovely Spurias you have! I think I like DRESS CIRCLE best.
