Iris "C"
Thanks everybody for adding to these threads! I love seeing all your beautiful iris!
Here we go with C:
Cameo Queen SDB - I took this photo at our local society president's house last spring; Aurora Borealis Iris Garden. Their fabulous clump was in full glorious bloom and I couldn't resist buying a few from them!
Cherry Tart SDB - Same story here. I loved the contrasting blue beards and took a rhizome home with me. :)
Cool As SDB - Also from Aurora Borealis Iris Garden last spring. I was sad they weren't splitting this one! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Chubby Cheeks SDB - Last one from the president's garden. Adorable, and might be fun to play with for hybridizing!
Now from my own garden:
Candy Apple SDB - not my favourite, but quite reliable, which shouldn't be discounted!
Cherry Garden SDB
Cookie Monster SDB
Cream Pixie SDB
Next on to the taller guys...

Champange Elegance TB - The soft colours are lovely, but I haven't been overly impressed with the substance. Overall a nice flower.
Coal Seams TB - first year in my garden. I got it a huge healthy rhizome as a bonus from Schreiner's. One of my best performers last year!
Copatonic TB - Amazing colour. Shines from across the yard!
All done... thanks for looking!

Some great SDBs. They need more chill than we receive so it's a treat to enjoy everyone's.
All these oldies were shared over 10 years ago. Hopefully there are new viewers who've not seen them. At least that's my rationale. I admit I do love the drooping falls of the oldies. During the resurgence of popularity 2 local iris growers appeared. My greatest pleasure was to walk the rows and take pictures. And choose a few.
Cabot Cove - HM'96, I love the uneven lavender color on the falls as well as the overall soft look of this one.
Cajun Spice - HM'97
Caribbean Dream - AM'96, periwinkle that wants to photograph as blue.
Carved Pink - HM'76, hadn't seen this beard color before. Quite a lot of fade the first day in CA sun.
Champagne Elegance - RE, reliable bloomer, standards turn white.
Change of Pace - AM'97
Chanteuse - HM'82, this one chokes me up. It hasn't bloomed these past few years of our drought and I so hope some of the non-blooming foliages are it.
Cherry Smoke - excel bicolor to combine with purple, and a shortie at 34 inches. I'm guessing the purple is Titan's Glory or Dusky Challenger. More impressive in person. Couldn't capture the deepness of the purple.

Chief Quinaby - HM'93
China Dragon - HM'81, wonderful color, better branching and bud placement and I bet it would have won an AM.
Circus Stripes - HM'78, having a good year showing nice fall veining.
City Lights - AM'95, not as blue as this. IMO prettier than the popular photogenic 'Clarence'.
Cloudless Sunrise - HM'88, RE, gosh, I'm sorry I gave this away thinking I'd like another of Niswonger's newer ones in this color combo.
Colette - HM'94, look at that color change!! 'Ruffled Goddess' holds better.
Come What May - RE, haven't bought this yet. Wonderful happy color combo.
Congratulations - AM'88, the sun is accenting the red pigment for the camera.
