This just open...my newly purchased Iris ensata 'Sorcerer's Triumph'...what a flower! Had to share this one. One local nursery was selling it for $15.95 but shopping around I picked it up for only $6.95. It is certainly my favourite flower right now.
Just lovely Todd. My Pink Frost just quit a few days ago. I was just looking at your threads in the Rock garden forum. Thanks for sharing your pics of all these plants with us. I'm sure enjoying them.
That's a beautiful flower. I've never seen one like it.
That is definitely gorgeous!

It's beautiful Todd.
What a gorgeous flower.
Funny thing (as you were saying on a different forum) about blooming times. The iris in Ottawa are LONG gone.

Hi, that flower is brilliant!
I'm a beginer Iris person so can you please advise of height and if it's a wet or well drained one? I don't seem to have the right spot for the wet/marginal Iris's so I am sticking to the others.
Ann the other one.
Annabell, the Japanese iris need a consistently moist soil. They get about 2-3 feet. May be too dry in Edmonton unless you make a specific 'bog' like garden.
Thanks Todd
I'll just have to watch for your colorfull posts. I hope to do the bog thing in a few years as I have an ideal spot in the garden to try but till then .........

What a beauty Todd! Ü I've got some ensata growing in my ponds and they are one of my favs as well.
My alternative to a pond is my large urn. I keep an arrowhead and a single water lily in it. The lily had one flower last year and two this year. It was suppose to be pink but it opened white. Oh well, still looks nice.
Very pretty!
Todd your lily is almost perfect in symmetry (sp) Beautiful
That's the beauty of waterliles...they do look so perfect, even if they only last a few days.
Lovely flower and pic Todd! Ü Your statement above is sooo very true.
Todd, that is scrumptous. Love it.
