More Irises bloomed!


German Bearded Iris 'Boogie Woogie'




German Bearded Iris 'Steppin' Out'



German Bearded Iris 'Summer Fiesta'











Sadly, there's only 2-3 more waiting to bloom.}:( After they all fade, that'll be it for me for this season, as despite the majority being 'rebloomers', I've never had them rebloom in the fall.

Going by their names, those irises like to par-tay!

As well as look pret-tay. :-)

I'd say they're very happy.}:P Would you believe those tree, along with two others, are in a container?!?

I'm half afraid to transplant them into the new raised bed for fear they won't bloom next year.}:P

Those are simply gorgeous!

Irises are so beautiful and vivid, they always look unreal to me. Gorgeous!

[dantesspirit]

I agree! }:P Especially the more deep, yet vibrant colors}:P

You're making me really want irises. We have some in the gardens here... I think they're blue? But I want lots more bulbs. Snowdrops and jonquils and stuff. Maybe lily of the valley, I've never been able to grow that closer to the coast. Too warm.

I have Lily of the Valley in my Daylily container that I got from my MiL up in New Jersey.

Poor things have been in that container for 9 years now. THey're getting put in the ground this year.}:P

I had Snowdrops back in NC. I didn't remember to bring any with me.
