Do any of you have any experience with these iris? I would love to see some pictures.

I was also lucky enough to meet Ginny and Don Spoon from Winterberry Gardens whom I have seen mentioned on this forum. They are delightful people.

Here is a rebloomer I currently have blooming in my garden.

Thanks,

Hi Kathy-

You got some great ones. I have Raspberry Silk. It's a slow grower here for me and doesn't bloom every year. But when it does everyone wants a piece of it.

Many thanks to all who came to our auction and sidewalk sale. We pretty much sold out this year. Lots of happy people went home with new and inexpensive iris!

When I pulled up this message, it showed no responses. I had thought that I'd bumped it already, but oh well. I posted the above to bump the message down, & when I went back to the forum, it showed 3 responses. Walter, I wish I could go to an iris sale where they had so many irises that they could make $4400 by 11 AM! & I *realllly* wish we could get 4" of rain! We're still very dry here: It's been a long hot dry summer, & the lakes & reservoirs are still terribly low.

This is an old picture of Devil's Lake that I took in 2000 with my film camera, so the quality isn't great.

DO a search for daves garden --- alphabetical listing of huge number of pics of iris.

Or go to Blue J Iris or Snowpeak Iris and check their catalog pics. You can also use Google Images and type in: iris Uncle Charlie
