And I'd have more of them if it weren't for my first favorite: roses. But the more I see pictures of them the more I'm tempted to spade prune some daylilies to make room for more irises.Antoniohttp://thegrassisbrown.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-83413886124784522562009-05-01T06:49:00.000-05:002009-05-01T06:49:00.000-05:00Dirt Princess,
Purple is one of my favorite colors...Dirt Princess,<br />Purple is one of my favorite colors too, but lately I’ve really been attracted to blue for some reason.<br /> <br />Gail,<br />Would you believe I never even noticed the veining until you pointed it out? I need to spend more time looking at my flowers.<br /> <br />Cameron,<br />I’ve never seen that one before, but it is certainly on my list of must haves now. I’ve never seen an iris bloom shaped like that with such wide blades. And they foliage drapes similar to Daylilies rather than standing up. It’s very interesting… Let’s see how long it takes me to find one. LOL<br /><br />Tina,<br />They bloom at a different time, which is good I guess, but could you imagine if they all bloomed simultaneously? That would be a rainbow!<br /><br />Lisa, <br />Over the years I’m sure we will start to forget too, things come and go and It’s difficult to keep track of it all. LOL I hope you post a picture of yours for us to enjoy.<br /><br />Sweet Bay,<br />This is our first year for Sinfonietta. We got it really reduced last year and looking pretty bad, but it made a remarkable come back!<br /><br />Jan,<br />If decide to get an iris for your garden, Sea Swells is the way to go. That flower is the most gorgeous blue color I believe I have ever seen. It’s a medium height Iris.<br /> <br />Flowrgirl1,<br />Out of the entire iris collection in our garden, Beverly is the one that always captures everyone’s attention. You are right she is timeless.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-80892605610060084132009-04-30T20:04:00.000-05:002009-04-30T20:04:00.000-05:00I have beverly sills and love her!

Good to see you here!<br /><br />Monica,<br />Passalong plants are always the best ones aren't they? I have about six or seven that haven't bloomed yet. I have no idea what color they are so it will be an adventure! I never have been one to pay alot of attention to color combos.
