Crystal Ship and Flirting Again are my favorites of this bunch, but love all of them!

Crystal Ship reminds me of a diminuative Moonlit Sea. I'll be posting some of my medians soon. Great photos.

I don't even want to look. Lack of winter chill keeps SDBs & MDBs from blooming here. Except for 'Chanted' which manages to hang on.

Beautiful. I'm headed for Salem again. Last weekend was so windy most of my shots were awful.

I'm glad to hear that people are enjoying the photos (or at least trying to, iris_gal ;) ). I'm trying really hard to keep up this year, as I always end the season with a few hundred photos waiting for me to get to them.

Rather than take up forum space with another post, I thought I'd share what's bloomed since:

'Candy Apple' (old, but I can't seem to part with it)
{{gwi:1008685}}

'Cat's Eye' (one of those varieties that took so long to reach my garden only because it was one of those "I'm bound to get it eventually" - worth the wait!)
{{gwi:1008687}}

'Mohr Delight' (an OB- AB)
{{gwi:1008688}}

'Summoned Spirit' (color's more saturated than last year, now at the new place)
{{gwi:1008689}}

'Jazzamatazz' (the form looks far ahead of it's time for 1986/7)
{{gwi:1008690}}

'Bluebeard's Ghost' (deserves every bit of the hype, but mine showed more yellow on the standards than I've seen)
{{gwi:1008691}}

They all look great. You've got some really interesting looking ones like Eye of Newt or Mohr Delight, but you know I really love the oldies too. I've got Candy Apple too and I don't think I could ever get rid of it like some other SDB that I have given away.

Iris Gal,
I always feel bad that you can't enjoy all these little cuties where you live. Sometimes I hate winter, but it is good for some things.
