A few blooms

16 years ago

Storms Saturday & Sunday nights have left my iris raggedy, but I felt the need to post :)

Radiant Apogee

Baboon Bottom

Dappled Pony. This is my only miniature Tall bearded iris, I don't know what I was expecting but this does have a small flower. Quite cute but I like big flowers.

Winesap

Victoria Falls,I know it will have better flowers later.

Spacelab. I think I got this in trade, mine seems more yellow & less muddied than pictures I've looked up

I'm glad I got a picture of my beautiful tree peony, it is no longer beautiful after the storms. The ground is strewn with bright pink petals

Spacelab has great colors! Nice. Think I like it better than Let's Dance which I've lost twice!

The MTBs are small flowered. Referred to as table iris (for cutting)

Radiant Apogee looks like it gives the same cheerful presence as Joyce Terry.

Victoria Falls is a great iris (IMO). Hard to catch the color of this one. I've seen it bloom for 6 months one year and another year reach 5 feet+. Parent of many.

Oh no. I miss your peony already.

I love the color of Victoria Falls. I think mine has all rotted away; I'll probably pick up a few rhizomes at the local iris sale to replace them.

My favorite of this bunch is Radiant Apogee. I love the yellow and white irises, especially in the garden setting. Thanks for getting out there in the rain to show us these flowers.

Well, I can see MTBs would be good for cutting, not so overwhelming in a vase. This one has such interesting coloration, it would be a fun cut flower.
I'm not fond of yellow really, especially not the bright yellow, but Radiant Apogee does draw your attention

Very pretty. They look pretty with the rain droplets on them like that.

Nice irises! I love BABOON'S BOTTOM! I think I have that one somewhere out there in the yard. Don't know if it ever bloomed tho. Too bad, cuz it's a pretty one!
