Lovely Tazzy. Great picture taking, too.

Didn't you just move and plant those a couple of years ago?

I love them all, but I now need to get Fancy Dress. I bet that's a Keppel?

yes we moved
all this planting is on trailer lot two year clumps most died first year .
SOB !
But i was blessed this year with bloom, few wrong names but 90% are all same as tag.

Well, they are lovely. Of course we all know Tazzy knows how to grow great irises.

The more you kill the more you learn , lot of dead bodies after 40
years of iris growing LOL

Slovak Prince,
love the gold wire edge on this one

Tazzy, you have some great looking iris........

Each one is more beautiful than the one before. I am especially fond of This and That, All A Buzz, and American Patriot and the pretty blue one behind it.

patjar
the blue one behind is Sprouting Horn

funny it is named that because it has no horns ? (who'd a guessed )

Well, appropriate name or not it is lovely.

thanks ^_^

Tazzy I love your Fancy Dress.........when my sprouting horn blooms, it has a bud just to the side of the bloom which looks like it is sprouting from the opened bloom.....I guess that's where it gets the name

Here's my prettiest open one today...Barbara My Love

Horn and other appendages can be inconsistant.

This is listed in registration book as no horns
just a good laugh for hybridizer thinking of all the dumb people like me who bought would ASS- U- ME by its name it was horned
LOL

LOL!

Ohh, I got some dark purple NOID's peeking through their papery sheaves!!!
This is so exciting!! LOL

Tazzy, They are absolutely beautiful. I haven't had good luck with iris. I bought some from a plant sale a couple of years ago with blooms on them, planted them and they haven't bloomed since. I bought two from Lowe's and decided to go to my favorite website (DG) to get some advice. I am getting a late start on gardening this year and have much work to do, but sure hope to have blooms on these, but don't expect them to look like yours. One is Luxor Gold bearded iris and the other is white bearded iris. Didn't see any purple ones.
I am going to enjoy this thread. Hope to get online more often.

Tazzy - love your iris photo's! I had to add "Power Surge" to my wish list!

the right name on tag game payed off
I took 4 proper named iris to show this Saturday,
and I got 2 blue ribbons and two red second place .
None were very good due to weather but public need to see variety , so was shocked i got any blue ribbons

Congrats Taz. Well deserved!

I keep looking at this thread with iris envy, hehhehee.

Beautiful Iris' Tazzy. Is it ok if I post a few of my first time bloomers on your thread? This is my first year to have any iris' and am falling in love with them.

Congratulations Tazzy! Our show is coming up in about 3 weeks. Last year was the first time I had attended a show and with the freak weather I didn't have any iris. So many beautiful iris; I don't think I would make a good judge. I hope I will have some blooms this year for the show, but if not, I will enjoy what others do have.

my ribbons
