NICE!! I always pass those by at the nursery, but they look lovely all massed like that!

Really? I have never seen dutch iris growing at any nursery. I bought mine as bulbs last fall along with my daffs and tulips.

I've planted Dutch iris, but the only ones that have lingered & bloom are yellow. I have Eye of the Tiger, but they have not bloomed for 2 years. I'm going to divide them when the foliage dies back & see if that is the problem. They have certainly multiplied since I planted them. Yours look just great. They have them growing occasionally at the nursery here, but usually I just see them as bulbs. I'll have to remember to pick up some more next year after seeing yours. You are such a bad influence Rita!

I hope mine stay and overwinter. No way to know for sure, just have to wait and find out.

I have them along in a strip between the daylilies and the TB iris section. Planted thickly. But I also have some between the TB iris in the new section and there it's just 3-4 bulbs between each iris clump. Honestly, they look good both ways.

Hey, don't blame me for being a bad infuence LOL! Kay started it. I had to have these afer Kay posted hers.

Just beautiful. your colors are striking! What is the tall bearded yellow back to the right of your first photo. I like them all!! Ellie

Those are really lovely, Rita! It's been so long since mine bloomed, the folaige is well on its was to drying and I am glad of that. I love those little pink mini glads. they are so delicate.

Those dark purples are always my favorite dutch iris and they look great!

Ellie, it is Sunblaze. Picture I had taken last week when it was raining.

Kay - Some of another color is just ready to start opening and then then two more colors way behind in opening. I guess that is good as the show will not be over too soon with the staggered bloom.

Lots more of the lighter ones have opened.
