Pinks, Dancing in the Streets

18 years ago

I tried adding some pinks this year, but I wasn't very impressed. Maybe I made some bad choices, but some looked more beige than pink, a couple rotted (not a problem I usually have) and some of the flowers were just not very well formed. Most of them will get pulled to make way for this year's impulse additions. (Well, something's gotta go!)

But this is one I really did like. I think I got it at our local iris society auction. It is a great flower--nice substance and color with a very faint gold rim. The rhizome sent up two stalks too, which I thought was unusual. This is DANCING IN THE STREETS (Lauer 2007)

That is awfully pretty. I like the way it holds its falls and the color lightening toward the fall cnt. keeps it from being just another pink. Very nice.

Very Pretty. Sounds like we're in the same boat. The "must have" list has a corresponding "must go" list. Some of the iris that are slated to go for me aren't bad, they're just not "must haves" anymore.

Pinks are notoriously bad for me. Only Vern Wood's Valentine's Day and Heidi Alaina do well for me.

Wow! Really love it. It is definitely a beautiful pink (ruffles and orange beards too)! Just added it to my wish list.

Walter, have you tried Treasured? It has been unusually tough in its performance.

I'm not too fond of pinks myself, but that is a good looking one.
