C is for Cookie Monster! I planted it this past fall and CANNOT WAIT for it to bloom. Here is the picture from Chuck Chapman's website.

Cookie Monster - SDB


Cherry Garden - SDB (experimenting with macro lenses)


Candy Apple - SDB. I'm not 100% confident in this ID so please speak up if you think it's something else!


Champagne Elegance - Tall

Looking forward to yours!

    Buddie, love that Copper Classic and Classic Look! Cotton Blossom too - I don't have a pale yellow yet!

    Great shot of Comeback Trail too - does it have a greenish tinge to it?

  • 10 years ago

    Thanks for the kind comments! Comeback Trail does have just a hint of green.

    Buddie, I planted Cat's Eye this past fall - great photo! I'm looking forward to seeing it 'in person' this spring!

    I forgot one:

    Cherry Blossom Song (Tall) - for some reason it didn't bloom for me this past year but was very nice in 2014!

    WolfDoc. The pics I have seen of Candy Apple show a purple beard. Haven't seen it in person. Love your Champagne Elegance.

    Bloombuddie. A neighbor had a clump of Cherry Glen beside Titan's Glory - spectacular color combo. Love Copper Classic and Classic Look.

    Here are oldie C's.

    Cabot Cove - Lauer HM96, sanded color on falls (cardboard behind to help capture accurate color at this sun blinding farm I visited.)

    Cajun Spice - Maryott HM'97, great color, some blotching on falls

    Candy Club - Painter'06

    Caribbean Dream - Schreiner, AM'96, likes to deceive and photograph as blue but this is close

    Carved Pink - Rudolph, HM'76, unusual brick colored beard difficult to capture

    Carved Pink - color when opened

    Champagne Elegance - parent of many rebloomers

    Change of Pace - Schreiner, AM'97

    Chanteuse - Gatty, HM'82
    , love its form, the color and everything about this oldie.

    China Dragon - Shoop, HM'81, eye catcher

    Circus Stripes - Plough HM'78, well striped on a good year.

    City Lights - Dunn, AM'95, couldn't capture the lavender, prettiest of the lav-blu wiith white-spot-around-beard intros, IMO

    Cloudless Sunrise - Niswonger'83, RE, lousy form but enchanting colors

    Colette - Brown, HM'94, shows why 2 different pics of the same iris may be accurate. This is extreme fade.

    Come What May - Ernst'95, RE, yummy color combo (pastel cantaloupe and mallow rose)

    Congratulations - Keppel, AM'88

    Coral Point - Sutton, HM'03, SA, some years paler than others

    Coral Sunset - Schreiner, AM'97, some doubt in my mind about ID

    Cranberry Crush - Aitken, AM'90, prettier colors in person than in pics.

    Crowned Heads - Keppel, Dykes Medal'04, stunning! poor capture (too pastel)


    Crystal Ring - Terada'97, no award
    but I was impressed.

  • 10 years ago

    Wonderful! Crowned Heads is about to move to the top of my wish list! Maybe Cajun Spice too...

    I didn't know Champagne Elegance had parented rebloomers - thank you for that tidbit!

  • 10 years ago

    Crowned Head is lovely! I also really like Cherry's Glen and Cat's Eye....beautiful!

    Here is Crimson King. This one is my boys' favorite - probably because "King" is part of the name. :)

  • 10 years ago

    Here is a few more "C's"


    ...and don't forget to feed your iris this spring!!

  • 10 years ago

    What Mothers put up with. Love 'Crash Course'. Perfect colors for my garden.

  • 10 years ago

    Willow Spring - my daughter likes anything with "dragon" in the name. Kids are silly, eh? :)

    Criris - great shots! My faves are Chestnut Avenue and Class Ring.
