Iris "D"

9 years ago

I had a long, taxing day at work and I have to go right back in the morning... so the last thing I'm gonna do tonight before bed is go through some garden photos! How long 'til spring? ;)

I don't have many Ds. Let's start with the ones from my society president's place:

Dark Vader SDB

Down and Dirty SDB

and from my own garden:

Darkling SDB

Dance the Night Away TB

Dangerous Mood TB - thought I lost it last winter, but it survived and even gave me one stunted but cheery bloom

Durham Dream TB - not a favourite. Always seems ragged and torn.

Dusky Challenger TB - I think

G'Nite!

Here are my older pics. I was focused on accurate color.

Darcy's Choice - HM'09

Dawn of Change - HM'96, long branches but a pretty flower, fall fades to white.

Dawn of Change stalk

Delirious - hard to capture this great color, shoots as lav. It's progeny Razzberry Rita might be more saturated.

Devil's Lake - HM'091, true color, very silky, just opening, fragrant.

Double Agent - HM'92, RE, striking when planted with dk. purple.

Dream Touch - HM'76

Dreamsickle - AM'00, coral pink

I've been enjoying seeing everyone's pictures! So many pretty Iris, and some great photography, too. I'm taking notes.

Irisgal, your photos are all new to me.

Finally, I have one to add.

Decadence

(Sorry about the tall grass. It's a real battle.)

What a beautiful flower Double Shot has. The pattern and the shading really catch my eye.

Thank you everyone for sticking with it - they're all lovely and they all made me smile! I haven't forgotten us... It's just been a hard week over here... looking forward to posting the next batch tomorrow or Friday!

'Durham Dream' looks lovely to me.
'Decadence' has been tantalizing to me since I saw its picture. Thank you for the stalk shot. I'll have to start putting in my oldie pics since you have not seen them Sandyslopes. Afraid I was boring everyone.
'Dark Hollow' nice! Saw a group shot of 'Dividing Line' and it looked great en masse. 'Donegal' is beautiful. 'Double Dribble' looks good also.
'Don't Stop Believing' would be gorgeous in my garden. Love the lavender beard.
'Dream of You' has those wonderful Edith Wolford colors. Maybe it would do better in my garden than Edith has.
Great D's everyone. Thank you.

Nice pics, Irisgal! I like the coloring on Double Agent, and also the soft pastels of Dream Touch.

Criris, I keep coming back to those crisp colors of your Dancing Star.

So many nice iris, too little room to have them all. :-)
