Iris pics from Saturday

15 years ago

Thought I would share some blooms I have

Sharpshooter

{{gwi:700589}}

Kevin's Theme

{{gwi:700592}}

I think this is French Rose. Not tagged, but it looks close from pictures. It is a new one for me, pretty. Of course, I may come across the real one somewhere completely different :)

{{gwi:700595}}

Two others I haven't gone through my list to see what they are. Tags have disappeared of course. That seems to happen much more often on my iris than on my daylilies. I think the rhizomes push them loose or something. The colors are similar, but the 2nd one is much richer color

    Well, they are all pretty, tagged or not. I love the color on that last one and it is my favorite bloom of the batch.

    I am just getting bloom stalks starting here so it will be awhile before blooms around here.

    Kevin's Theme is lovely. I love the very bottom pic. Jewel tones - gorgeous.

    Those are beautiful! I especially love the first two and the last one. I may have to add sharpshooter if I can just figure out where to put it,,,and Kevin's Theme. hmmmm.

    I went back out & realized the last photo in the 1st group is Persian Berry. Didn't look right Saturday, I really liked it better then. Persian berry is an older one, but I do love the color & have several in that color family. I just don't know what the one before that is.
    Kay, Sharpshooter is new to me. I am not sure why I originally bought it, I have a couple already that are very similar, but I really like the deep orange beard on this one.

    The iris blooms are really comming fast and furious now :-)) Love it! Lots of pretties. Blockbuster is so dark.

  • 15 years ago

    You caught that one Rita, I don't know what I was thinking when I typed Blockbuster. That is Black Flag.

  • 15 years ago

    Ah, well then Black Flag is so dark. I find those almost black ones very interesting.

    I can't stand it. I am going out to look for stalks even though I already looked this morning.

    I especially am drawn to Black Flag, Gay Parasol, and Cabaret Act. I love Designing Women so much, I bought it twice (really...not intentional):). They are really pretty.

    It seems to me thay have been prettier than usual this year.

    I think you are right Kay, the iris seem to have a richer color this year. Must be all the rain.

    Wonderful pics thanks for taking the time to post them.

    'Living Right' looks so much like 'Dawn of Change' (Ernst'93) --- it's scary.

    The bottom photo in the first group (with the house in the background) --- could it be 'Afternoon in Rio'?

    Wow, is 'Mod Mode' as gorgeoous in person?

  • 15 years ago

    I looked up Dawn of Change, you are right, so very alike. Both Ernst, just a couple years apart. It does bother me a bit, DOC says orange beard tipped yellow which I think describes mine, Living right doesn't mention it.

    I've always liked Mod Mode, had it for several years & it always does well. This year the flowers seem larger than usual.

  • 15 years ago

    I'm posting my Dawn of Change, not because I question yours. It sounds like Ernst did the same thing he did with Afternoon Delight & its look-alikes. Very confusing.

    Thanks for your info about Mod Mode. Love pastel pinks and this one's new to me. Looks like it would combine well
    with lavenders.
