Great blooms everyone - I didn't mean to leave anyone out. Keep them coming!
Susan, I love your bottommost NoID.
I forgot to charge my camera battery and it died on me before I finished the rounds, so more to come later.
'Golden Snitch' - totally admit I bought this one for the name, but it's a wonderful iris, very healthy and upright, despite our strong winds and rain - possibly one of the best performers in our harsh spring weather as far as TBs go. A pretty flower and great with contrasting colors. Looks great amongst purples. I like.
'Starting Fresh' was a bonus from Schreiner's last year and I love it! I'm not sure it would previously have been something I would have ordered, based only on a bloom photo, but it's a standout in the garden - big, upright, bright, and with multiple blooms open at once - a great show. Such a pretty and cheerful iris. I'm so glad I have it. I've received compliments on this one from passersby.
'Waterline' is definitely a favorite for me. Thought I'd love it when I ordered it. And I do.
'Black Lipstick' in a new arrival from a late planting last year that had developed some rhizome rot over the winter. I hate to admit it, but I'm not one to baby and go out of my way to treat plants in my garden - especially in the freezing cold. I used a boxcutter to slice out the rotted part in the center of the rhizome, and pulled it out, roots and all, leaving behind the front and back half of the original rhizome. I now have 2 separate healthy rhizomes, loaded with new growth, and one of them is blooming.
One of my NoIDs. It was here when we bought the house. It's much more vibrant in the sun. I have several clumps of this one, and it perfumes the garden.
