What's Blooming in your garden? #2 share your photo

Love your orange and yellow sharondippity. And Gypsy Romance has long been one of my favorites.
Nicky, Awesome Alex is so beautiful. I love so many of the Burseens.

iris28 yup you can cross sdb to TB all the time, getting the pollen is the big thing.

Have fun.

D

Sorry, No Id, but I love them!

That is lovely, stormyla. Since you don't know it's name, you can give it your own.

Dee, will doing that effect the height of the new cross? I mean put it in a different classification? TB, IB, etc...

Crossing TBs & SDBs results in IB. Pollen only hard to get on the ones you really want. Store in frig with a drying agent for SDB, freeze for TB, I have never tried that one.

Autumn Harbor Another cloudy wet day in SE Kansas BIF's!! Happy Sunday anyway!!

Autumn Harbor is lovely.

Hello everyone my hollyhocks and iris and big orange poppies are growing however no buds on them as yet. My peppermint and different Herbs are starting to grow also my onions too. Boy am I ever happy that it is warmer even though it is 50 degrees today.
Wishing everyone a successful growing season

Burst Hoping this puts a little cheer in your heart!! Got out and took another 25 or so pictures!!

WOW i love that one .
i so they will always be ib if you cross tb and sdb . i was just wondering if you can try for different traits like some seedlings from the cross will be sdb and some tb . with the different color or ruffles . like a ruffly sdb or something

The plants will segregate out for size. Some will be taller & some shorter. Traits turning up ( a few are surprises) will be what you put in. If you like ruffles cross ruffles to ruffles, or a certain color plus ruffles, make sure at least one plant has that trait. AIS sells the book 'The World of Irises', information from the 80s but necessary if you wish to hybridize.

no i dont wish that lol to much work for me . i was just curious if the same rules apply to iris as they do with brugs and daylily hybrids

Species iris odaesanensis today.

I was sold that iris odaesanensis and it ended up being a pink Rod something, looking it up, so disappointed as I wanted this one.

Dee, I am dividing this one in half this year because I need to move some into the shade garden and out of front door tenant traffic. I'm afraid to move it all since it is happy on the east side. In a few years I prolly would be able to share since it spreads. I bet you could write to Marty and Jan (Joe Pye Weed) and see if they have some for sale if you can't wait.

Hi I want to share with you my bleeding heart plant it is my first plant that has flowers
I love it. I have Tulips too

Very pretty, Marcia.

Thank You so much

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news sharondippity but unless the color is way off in your pic~ Post #6495226 that's Not "Gypsy Romance": http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/35205/
My pic of "Gypsy Romance".

DaLoveRat,

I love your pic of Gypsy Romance. It's a beauty!!!

Boojum, thank you. Would love it. I can wait for a very time trust me, think I will be on hold for a very long, the weather, the wedding the surgery.

Hugs and thank you

D

Thanks for the new info Rat, I'd bet you are right

Darned if it hasn't happened again. I guess the label says it all.


I checked out the iris, rephotoed, yes it is true to color..new photo attached

.....sooooooooooo, I dug up it's aluminum label that I plant with the rhizomes as I buy them..... and........ big as life it says Gypsy Romance, American Meadows

I wish I knew what it is I bought, it is really very pretty.

Nicky- Autumn Harbor is a stunner. I just love the unusual blue-purple color, so striking.

The real Gypsy Romance is another show stopper. Have to put them both on my wish wish.

here is one new beauty today...Pure romance

and another Bewitchment

another afternoon delight

Makj, those are all stunning. Pure Romance is my favorite. They must look great together.

Makj that Pure Romance is so Rich Looking. Almost loose yourself in it.

it is even better than the photo, which as we know sometimes the photo can be a little misleading.....

sharondippity~ The last photo of it the color looks about right and so do the beards but I can't see the shoulders of the falls very good that's what I would look at since you do have a tag saying that's what you bought. I noticed that the irise in question is on different sides of the orange one in your two pics are you sure that its the same iris?

Rat
orange on both sides
Might have something to do with the fact that it's been raining off and on for days

Pure Romance is another stunner.

it turned out to be even prettier in real life...
