Things are starting up nicely now, many of my plants have bloom stalks that should be blooming soon.

Thanks everyone, I am so happy to see some iris blooming, spring is here! Linda, it is easy to get addicted to iris, especially since they bloom before the daylilies really start. I can't really feel sad at iris season being over because the daylilies are under way. I just wish I had something to fill in the fall. I plan on having more mums this year, all I can think of to add any real color. Guess it's a good thing, I don't really need another addiction either :)

Lucky you to have your pretty iris blooming. The color on that last one is just lovely. I am really looking forward to iris season. I have so many new ones that I want to see if they bloom for me and then of course the more established ones have lots more fans so should have lots more blooms. Can't wait.

Many Iris bulbs and leaves but few blooms

Iris rhizomes propagate themselves by growing new "babies" off the sides of the mother rhizome. She will wither away. If they are all the same you can toss or trade without losing a favorite. Otherwise it's an impossible job to know which rhizomes are of the same cultivar. In that case I tag the blooming stems and move them to another location. Scattering low nitogen fertilizer may encourage others to bloom next year is your don't have time this year to renovate the bed. Bulb refer to another type of iris.

I'm such a sucker for dark purple, just love those last 2 iris, such deep saturation on Magheralin.

Thanks everyone. I just love the deep colors too, & Magheralin just has a nice shape. I don't normally like the older iris, but Circus Stripes appeals to me, just so different. I guess Circus Stripes can't be considered an heirloom, I think it came out in 1975 or 76, I think the striping makes up for lack of ruffles that I like in the more modern iris :)

Actually, I think the stripes look neater on an iris that doesn't have all those fussy frills. I think circus stripes is a really neat iris!

They are all very lovely. I always love those deep purples and the striped one is quite unusual.
