You better watch out, adding roses is very addictive but the results are so beautiful when they are in bloom LOL! We will both have to post roses blooming this summer. I really don't have hardly any Austins. I used to have more than I do now but moved them outta here and replaced them with other roses as they just wanted to grow too big for me. Big and sprawly doesn't work in my garden. I just seem to remember the Dutch Iris being closer together with more of them last year. Maybe it was just the angle of the picture that was taken. My Dutch Iris are planted much closer together than yours are. But then you know I smush things together around here. Mihne are growing nicely out in the backyard but no bloom scapes coming up yet. Must be too early here for then to even bud up yet.

Julia it is hard to define the color on Heaven's edge it is more white than anything, but I can see a faint blush. It is not pink at all but I think of porcelain or baby skin when I see i9t. The petals are thick for a better word very heavy substance like no other bloom I have ever seen . You are right, Maryl. Lemon Shards is open at 6:A.M. when I first go outside and it opens flat as you see it. Ruby Spider is a UF, but it is just a large bloom without twisting or curling or cascading. And Stenciled Infusion is as pretty bloom as you could want. Well, Kate, we do send plants back and forth and that one is like one of your "washtubs" so it needs dividing. Since I love red, you know I love Ruby Spider and Red Sleleton had four blooms today so it looked really good. Olan was really impressed with the photo of Lemon Shards. It is quite different and the "shards look almost like finely slivered glass attached to the petals. kay

Two very stunning iris! And I would guess MM is fragrant, as well. I always thought the purple ones tended to smell like Welch's grape juice.

Hi all, thanks for commenting. I really like that first iris, always have a thing for the really dark ones with intense color. And I like the second one that I think is Private Eye.

These three are showing color, but I found several new ones with scapes today...Philistine Champion (thanks Rita) Ledgewoods Pansy Eye, Intelligent Design, stc...Season is fast approaching.

I love both your irises. Magnificent Masterpiece is my favorite tho, the rich colour is so nice. Is that a hint of lavender/pink in the standards or sun hitting it? Either way, I have to look for that one! You'll have to post pics of the daylilies when those fat buds open. Marg
