| Nice! I love Iris! I had to leave most of mine behind when we moved last year. I dug up a couple of pieces of rhizome, just to take a little with me. I planted them in the little garden where we rent now. They're doing great and in bud! The size pieces that I took, I'm really surprised! They didn't have time to set new roots, really since I stuck them in the ground in mid- November! I'll post pics. when they open. I'm not really sure of what ones I grabbed. I think maybe "Beverly Sills" and "Batik"- Yours look really great!! I LOVE the yellow one, It's really fresh looking! ![]()

Didn't leave nothing behind. LOL. I'll have to "dig" those pics up and show you. It's too hilarious to be true. ![]() Slip that yellow is just YUM. Love Irises and Roses. A sucker for yellows. ![]()

| I find these to be much more pleasing than tulips. Not quite so early to bloom, but a bit longer lasting, and then the foliage is good thru the summer. Last spring I purchased about 8 new varieties. They won't bloom this year but maybe next. |

| Those are lovely! I love the sweet fragrance of irises, too. Most of my iris are blooming now. I sometimes pick up packages of dried up rhizomes that are sold at WalMart or at garden marts and end up with some surprises--usually not what I'm expecting. (I haven't kept track of names.) I have a few iris photos at my Photobucket site Marcia_in_PA/garden_2008 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Marcia |

| i've noticed this seems to be a very good year for irises around here; maybe it was the wet spring..?

| Love all the iris photos! I'll try and take a few photos of mine before I leave for another race weekend. Keep the iris photos coming. Anyone grow peonies? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those flowers. I planted 2 3 years ago and I am hoping for blooms this season. Best thing about moving back North was all the flowers I could grow. |

| Cytojo, I have a few peonies and they took 3 years before they bloomed for me. This is the first year I got blooms. Mostly pink ones. I'll see if I can get a picture. I love irises too. I have a few on the side of the house but my husband keeps knocking the buds off whenever her takes out the garbage. Very frustrating!

| There are some nice pictures there. And after I first posted the three pics, some others came into bloom. I can't remember where they came from, but here they are. |
