Tomatoz1,

I am so happy to hear. Aren’t they the prettiest thing?

So many thanks to gardenchloe for adding the beauty of colors in my garden. I have so many favorite iris, and wait in anticipation for buds to show forth their beauty.

Pictures please tomatoz1. Here is my (Thanks DeziLo!) Immortality.

DeZi Lo any idea what the yellow one with the slight pink fringe is? 2nd and 3rd from the end of your first rainy day post.

Gorgeous pics!!!

@mmmm It's Gypsy Woman. Schreiner 1985

Finally - my King Tush opened 😊

We had this no ID bloom. I think it is one of the one's we moved to make way for Immortality. We had two varieties of white. This one with yellow undertone and one with purple undertone. I thought we didn't keep any of the yellow ones but clearly we got them mixed up as this is the yellow undertone one. :-) Let's hope some of the others we kept were the purple undertone variety.

It also grew in much taller than I remember it being in it's old location.

I never get tired of iris. They are amazing plants. So many colors and varieties and ask for so little.

Celebration Song (I know, this one is pretty common, but she sure is photogenic)

Orangutan Orange. Not the most vigorous of iris but I love the color and striping.

More coming every day!

@popmoma this is where the celebration song source is.

DeZi Lo,

I LOVE seeing a whole bunch together like that. Celebration Song is very exotic and beautiful. You have been so generous in sharing it's beauty with the rest of us. :-)

Thanks to everyone who has shared with me! I think of Celebration Song as a classic. Its color is muted and dainty like a ballerina costume. It's very recognizable too. No mistaking it!

This is a new one for me planted just last year. I'm not sure if the name is French Exposé or English Expose. I will need to do some more research. I prefer thinking of it as the French.

Two from swap years ago. I have these planted too close together for such similar iris.

Red At Night

Raptor Red

We planted these at my daughter's school two years ago.

Still trying to ID this one

NOID

Kinkajou Shrew

Fire Danger

NOID

Wow, so many beautiful varieties! The husband noticed today that we have some buds on ours, so we may get some iris blossoms this year! (I don't think they usually bloom.)

Lving Legacy just opened

Sideways - sorry!

Better pic

So pretty, tomatoz1. Mine opened as well. I contacted the seller and think this one should be Living Legacy. It's a pretty one!

Fantastic blooms! I've been having some showing as well. Here are a couple of first time bloomers for me.

Jason

NoID - Tan and Maroon

Thanks, gardenchloe. Change Jitterbug to Living Legacy. Whatever the name, the colors are gorgeous.

Here are the last of the later bloomers. The iris are pretty much done on the hill. It is being swallowed up by bindweed, giant dandelion looking things and thistle. @Tomatoz1 does the last one look familiar? We think it's swingtown but I'm not sure.

DeZi Lo,

Is that Champagne Elegance in the second to the last photo? Mine hasn't bloomed yet so I haven't seen it in person.

Dezi - the last one looks like Swingtown, one of my faves.

mmmm12 - Champagne Elegance has a s

tan standard and a white fall. I only have 1 blooming right now.

mmmm12 - sorry sorry, backwards on the colors

@mmmm12 those are sun bleached Celebraion song. I thought I had a picture but the lavender falls fade a lot in the full harsh sun. It looks like a completely different iris.

Also if anyone has a large space to fill and needs yellow and white iris, let me know. These 4 year clumps need to be thinned out big time.

great pics, mine are almost all done this year.

speaking of. iris swap?

I wanted to ID some from the swap, I wonder if someone could help

I see my pallida on the hill propagated nicely. are you still planting the hill?

@llgarden, yes we are still plan on planting on the hill. We added 30+ new iris to the hill along with daylillies, ice plant and other perennials.

llgarden,

Why don't you try posting pics of the iris blooming and folks can chime in if they know what it is.

Mine are done - I think maybe the early heat caused many to not bloom, as didn't get as many this year. But enough to enjoy :) Here is one the bloomed the first time for me this year - Spirit of Memphis.

mstywoods,

Thanks for posting. We also go almost no blooms. I was wondering if it was our placement in the salvia bed or the weather. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next year.

what are these? from swap, some still did not bloom, Japanese iris turned out to be white Siberian :)

and there was red from swap that is looking a lot like red at night

gardenchloe, if that red-copper one from me that's one man's tango

gardenchloe your other noid looks like frenzy frolic

if you re splitting fire danger and living legacy I would like one

I would live to be involved in a trade. I have a couple that can use division.

I can go through my yard next few weeks and see what I can divide. I may be able to divide Living Legacy but I just got it a couple years ago, so it hasn't multiplied much. Fire Danger was purchases last Fall so it will be a couple of years before I can divide that one.

Any idea what the name of this one is?I

Edit: I may have just run across it. High Chaparral, by chance?

I would say it is High Chaparral Beautiful, isn’t it.

when do we want to do the swap?

which ones do rebloom for you?

there is rummor Belvi Queen does re-bloom, has autumn colors, does anyone have this one?

It's not a rumor. Belvi Queen is classified as a rebloomer even in zone 5. Like all reblooming iris, it's not a guarantee.

With that being said, I do not have Belvi Queen.

If anyone would like to share irises or other plants, please consider coming.

who is coming to swap?

We probably won't come because our garden is full at the moment. Might want to start a swap thread as not everyone will be watching this one for news of a swap.

Oops: Just saw there already is a new thread.

yes, I made a thread and updated the starting post with date and time
