Hi Polly, Boojum, Pirl and all the other lovers of beardless as well as bearded, both of the other topics had gotten so long I decided I would jump in with one for 2009
What is in the full gloria right now was labelled Iris Tectorum, but feel it is Iris Japonica and still I have thrilled.
No other beardless in bloom yet, but the medians are going NUTS right now, as Have about 75 different varities in bloom I think

Wanted to share a half row shot of the medians in bloom today, hope you enjoy

I do enjoy, thanks!

Your Iris Japonica is lovely. I have very few beardless ones, but just received 2 Pseudatas in the mail today. I ordered Shirabyashi from Draycott's and they sent Ryugan as a bonus. Both have at least 6-7 rhizomes and lots of nice roots. I am thinking about digging a hole and lining it with plastic to make a mini blog for them since it can get very dry here in the summer. Do you think they would do OK in those conditions?

The week before Christmas I planted a JI in compost just to see how much it would enjoy the luxury of spending winter someplace cozy.
The string is the reminder not to use that bin!
And here it is!
I'm curious to see the roots on it when I dig it up.
