Sangeal by Sass an historic.

Linda thanks for Shah Jehan! Not only is it beautiful and tall it does not seem to need staking. Maiden bloom.

Not Swerti, I do have Swerti and she is tiny and I love it. Swerti maiden bloom.

Mainer, you have a beautiful collection. Too many to pick a single favorite--lovely. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks. The flower show is Saturday so my iris season will probably end shortly after. Here are a few that opened today.

Blazing Beacon a modern, maiden bloom.

Cloud Ballet a modern, is not three inches clearing the ground. Took a shot antway becayse it is maiden bloom.

Laurie, your Pansy Purple by McEwen also an historic is blooming it's maiden blooms today.

Laurie, you Pretty Pansy by Sass is having it's maiden bloom today. Pretty Pansy is a luminata and to tell it apart from Moonlit Sea has no yellow wash on it. Only white and blue.

Here is Moonlit Sea also by Sass with a yellow wash.

Moolit Sea was last year's shot for it will not bloom this year. Swingtown a modern, is my last maiden bloom for today.

I showed you a wet drippy shot of lady friend so I have to show you it now with Titan's Glory.

Here are Blue Chiffon, Tahiti Sunrise, Gibson Girl, Frontier Marshall and a lt purple noid enjoying the shade of the apple tree. It is eighty eight degrees for three days straight in the ninety's or near ninety's. Not used to everything blooming at once a few weeks before the flower show.

Gold Galore did this today.

Dusky Challenger exploded into bloom today.

That is happening with all the blooms today that were single maiden ones a little while ago. Will stop for today, supper is waiting.

Dusky Challenger is gorgeous with that strong gold -- Gold Galore, I am guessing.

Beautiful!

Dusky Challenger is great. It's nice to see someone with Iris blooming still. I think my last flower bloomed yesterday. It was Stepping Out. Now it's time to think about what will need divided this year. Thanks for sharing all your beauties.

First bloom on Poem of Ecstasy? I think that is right. Two young grandsons that are interested in collecting plant markers, have made ID a bit of a question.

Looks correct to me.
