Pictures to enjoy through Winter Boredom - Beardless

This is a site where anyone can post their pictures for the rest of us to enjoy. I didn't have a lot of new iris bloom this year and my photography leaves a lot to be desired, but here's one to get us started.

Pink Frost

LA iris Black Gamecock, first year for me.

Sib. Caesar's Brother at lakeside.

Better make that weedside. Here's Pseudocarus at lakeside, more weeds.

Japanese iris Frilled Enchantment. Still haven't gotten the hang of good photography.

Jump in anytime, we love to look. Unknown first time bloomer.

Love this new thread. Beardless are my favorites. Since I have already posted pictures of mine on Boojums thread, I will sit back and enjoy.

Great idea, Mittsy!

Love that Roy Davidson !!!!!!!!!

Roy Davidson is surely stunning - not a huge flower, but sure makes up for that with the beauty

here's another beauty - SC Sayo-No-Tsuki

Let's get this thread going! I would love to have beardless pics to look at over the winter. I know a lot of you have them.

Just a couple:

JI Russian species Altay

Here's Cascade Mist. Borglums, the hybridizer says siberian. I think versicolor.

What do you think, Dee? or anyone else?

Species X China Spring.

I would love to see lots of pics of JIs here. C'mon guys!

I have a few but they have not bloomed yet.

OK Polly - will have to get into my Picassa files and get to work.....jan

sorry - had already posted that one - how about JI Eden's Paintbrush

Polly I too vote that it is a versi !

jrwbirds
have not seen that rare beauty where did you get it?

I have gotten several this year from Draycott because I love those eyelashes.

Going Sat to a garden that he has tons of species and many other plants.

Anyone looking for something special I can see if he has it...

I know I am looking for more species for me

D

jrwbird That is one beautiful iris!!!!!

well, am not sure where I got E P - I have not verified the name with any listing....just assumed it is correctly labeled...duh

I have gotten a lot of iris friom Iris City Gardens in Prim TN - Greg and Macey are just the nicest folks - have gotten a couple of friends and driven down there - we always come home with the Janmobile (a Toyota Highlander) full of plants !!! they have a really nice online site: iriscitygardens.com - have a look......

where/what /who is Draycott??? I am almost afraid to ask...hahaha

I love that Gracieuse. Jan. Very simple and clean looking compared to the 6 and 9 falls, which I love also.

More pics please---get into those Picassa files!



Eileens Dream JI

Polly - thank you for the link !!! Will get into those Picassa files ASAP - have transferred pics from the camera during the Summer and labeled the pics, just have not yet put the tags on them....so much fun, so little time....LOL

Jap Iris Hatsu Kasami

I just love that Eden's Paintbrush but I can't seem to find any info on it. I have a new bed with that color, I would love to find that Iris!

well, I did a search for Eden's Paintbrush - found it on a commercial site - the problem is, what I labeled EP is not, however, I do have what they show as EP - will dig into my notes and try to figure what labels I've mixed up.......

LA Iris Little Ruby Slippers

jrwbirds, thanks for checking. It is so pretty and just the right color combo. Ruby Slippers is very nice too.

I have visited Iris City gardens too and have a cd of my pics. Another winter time thread. It is well worth the drive to see such beauty. They are really nice folks.

Does anyone know if Longwood Gardens near Philadelphia has an Iris display?

Beardless is LITTLE RUBY SLIPPERS as posted. Ruby Slippers is a bearded IB. Please by careful to get correct names. It can be difficult but do concentrate so people can find the correct plant they wish.

OMG. Never grew any of these before. They are gorgious. Are there any hardy to Zone 3A to 4A.

Ask Dee--I'm sure that siberians will grow in zone 4.
