Amy, thanks. It's funny, not too many people like the species Japanese iris. I love it. At least now I know there's two of us that like it. Well, 3, I know Boojum loves it. She's like me, loves all the species ones.
Garden Photos - Part 22
I like em ALL!
That makes four, LOL. Most people like the blowsy ones, and the poor species dude from Russia was pouting, but no more.
Make that 5
And don't forget the Siberian Irises
The color is just extraordinary. Funny, i tend to always like the singles over doubles in most flowers...
You have such great stuff - i think you grow those strangely beautiful miniature grey irises too, with a woman's name...
I have a yellow and purple iris that i've been told are "Flag Iris's" and they are dull. Thats what the person said...I said excuse me, I don't own a dull,boring or an ugly iris!
Nice strong yellow. I like yellow ones ... they grow at the edges of ponds here.
Make that #6 I am with you on lilies. BEV
I am so glad that all the hard work and waitng pays off.
More and more flowers are in bloom.
Today I found.....
DL Someone Special
DL Mal (Marilyn's nickname - guess why I bought it?)
A really cool purple lily that opened

Although the picture isn't the greatest, it is so nice to see a bed in bloom
I love it when you discover Nature in action.
I think the flag irises are pretty, too, Pixie.
Amy, I'm not sure which one you mean with a womans name, but I do grow a lot of miniature iris. Here's a siberian iris with a womans name, Careless Sally. Is that it?
Pretty liles and dayliles, Bev and Chuck!
Bev, what do you have under the orange lily? I've been looking for a good groundcover, and am trying some short geraniums, like Biokovo.
Careless Sally
pollyk, That is purple verbina. Should be very hardy for you and spreads fast. BEV
Thanks, Bev.
Holy Moly!!! Miss a day or 2 around here and it takes an entire morning to catch up! Wonderful shots everyine! Love the dragonfly and lady bug!
Great sequence on the iris pixie!!!

Very nice Brigitte, isn't it great to finally see a bloom from your own crosses? I'm still waiting!!
Stept out on the very hot deck to shoot this orange Asiatic in a tub.
ALL the Asiatics in tubs will be repotted this fall ,they have been in the tubs for over five years.
