9 years ago

As in Bee-yootiful! (groan)

Batik (BB) - such a great performer for me!

Beyond Paradise (TB)

Blanket of Snow (TB) - neat beards on this one

Blueberry Flambe (IB) - still a young plant and doesn't really match Chuck Chapman's website image yet, but it's coming along!

from the website (Chapman):

Blueberry Tart (SDB) - one of my absolute favourites!

Burst of Joy (TB)

Butter and Sugar (Siberian)


Thanks for looking! Can't wait to see yours!

      BOYSENBERRY BUTTERCUP - not a very good photo tho... it's not really quite that "blue."

    • 9 years ago

      Thanks! Is it a trick of the photo, or are those purple style arms in Boysenberry Buttercup? Really nice!

      Neptune, great shot of Beverly Sills. I ordered that one back when I was just getting started, but it turned out to be a mislabel and I never did get another. Has it been a good performer for you?

      Criris, I may have to get Black Stallion - that was one of my favourite series of books as a girl! :) Love Brazillian Art and Brown Lasso. BL is one I've considered adding for about three years in a row now!

      Some B's

      Ballistic SDB One of my favorites.


      Banana Margarita TB

      Bel Esprit TB

      Blood Covenant SDB

      Blushing Pink TB Does not like to be moved.

      Bold Vision TB

      Boo SDB First saw a picture of Boo on this forum & wanted it badly!

      Bottled Sunshine IB Increases rapidly

      Bowl of Cherries SDB

      Bride's Halo TB For some reason this often reblooms

      Ooh, love that Buster, Bloombuddie! Boo also. Is Blood Covenant really that red? Ballistic reminds me of Ruby Eruptions... do you have that one?

    • 9 years ago

      Redwolfdoc, here are a couple other pictures from our garden of Blood Covenant. It is a brownish red. A lot depends on the lighting and time of day. I'll probably have enough Buster to share with you this Spring if you like. Ann

      Thank you so much, Ann! Blood Covenant is gorgeous - in all those photos. I love the 'browns' ...iris, roses, daylilies, you name it. Wouldn't it be fun to make an exchange this spring? I'm in Canada, which makes things more complicated, though not impossible. Let me know if any of my plants catch your eye!

    • 9 years ago

      (I'm Karen, by the way, though Redwolfdoc works too!) :)

    • 9 years ago

      Here are a few more B iris from our local iris society president's open garden last spring. They're called the Aurora Borealis Iris Garden, and they grow some beauties!

      Big Blue Eyes SDB - I picked up a rhizome of this one; can't wait to see it in the spring!
