Iris "C"
Thanks everybody for adding to these threads! I love seeing all your beautiful iris!
Here we go with C:
Cameo Queen SDB - I took this photo at our local society president's house last spring; Aurora Borealis Iris Garden. Their fabulous clump was in full glorious bloom and I couldn't resist buying a few from them!
Cherry Tart SDB - Same story here. I loved the contrasting blue beards and took a rhizome home with me. :)
Cool As SDB - Also from Aurora Borealis Iris Garden last spring. I was sad they weren't splitting this one! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Chubby Cheeks SDB - Last one from the president's garden. Adorable, and might be fun to play with for hybridizing!
Now from my own garden:
Candy Apple SDB - not my favourite, but quite reliable, which shouldn't be discounted!
Cherry Garden SDB
Cookie Monster SDB
Cream Pixie SDB
Next on to the taller guys...

Coal Seams TB - first year in my garden. I got it a huge healthy rhizome as a bonus from Schreiner's. One of my best performers last year!
Copatonic TB - Amazing colour. Shines from across the yard!
All done... thanks for looking!

Comments (2)Woody, I've not had the dietes - want some now after looking around the web. Lovely. Have you collected any seed? Said to self sow readily. Have stored caladium bulbs and think the method would also apply to dietes. Dig when the plants have begun dying back, shake off the soil, let dry on newspaper then remove foliage. Then place the rhizomes in peat, separating them. I use cardboard boxes for storage. Will be interested to hear advice from others and then your results next spring!

Comments (1)No no no. Not until they've at least yellowed and can no longer produce food. I wait for them to brown. Maybe 3 months after bloom? How moist is the soil? Louisianas love water....See Moreredwolfdoc_z5

7 years agoSome great SDBs. They need more chill than we receive so it's a treat to enjoy everyone's.
All these oldies were shared over 10 years ago. Hopefully there are new viewers who've not seen them. At least that's my rationale. I admit I do love the drooping falls of the oldies. During the resurgence of popularity 2 local iris growers appeared. My greatest pleasure was to walk the rows and take pictures. And choose a few.
Cabot Cove - HM'96, I love the uneven lavender color on the falls as well as the overall soft look of this one.
Cajun Spice - HM'97
Caribbean Dream - AM'96, periwinkle that wants to photograph as blue.
Carved Pink - HM'76, hadn't seen this beard color before. Quite a lot of fade the first day in CA sun.
Champagne Elegance - RE, reliable bloomer, standards turn white.
Change of Pace - AM'97
Chanteuse - HM'82, this one chokes me up. It hasn't bloomed these past few years of our drought and I so hope some of the non-blooming foliages are it.
Cherry Smoke - excel bicolor to combine with purple, and a shortie at 34 inches. I'm guessing the purple is Titan's Glory or Dusky Challenger. More impressive in person. Couldn't capture the deepness of the purple.

China Dragon - HM'81, wonderful color, better branching and bud placement and I bet it would have won an AM.
Circus Stripes - HM'78, having a good year showing nice fall veining.
City Lights - AM'95, not as blue as this. IMO prettier than the popular photogenic 'Clarence'.
Cloudless Sunrise - HM'88, RE, gosh, I'm sorry I gave this away thinking I'd like another of Niswonger's newer ones in this color combo.
Colette - HM'94, look at that color change!! 'Ruffled Goddess' holds better.
Come What May - RE, haven't bought this yet. Wonderful happy color combo.
Congratulations - AM'88, the sun is accenting the red pigment for the camera.
