My Iris in bloom now. All are my hybridization.

Amazing.

I have been looking for yellow or yellow-mixed irises (Bearded Iris) for a while. So far, I have not found it yet.

My only Vincent iris! My ex stole the rest of the seeds or I’d have more!

Hopefully you will find some yellow mixed in the seeds sent to you 2nd time. Be patient and keep waiting.

Somehow I never thought about posting shots of the irises I bought 18(?) years ago. Somehow I got a catalog of fragrant irises & these were touted as “reblooming” in most cases. I have never cared for them so well they have done it, but they have lived despite my neglect. Another, two-tone gold flag has yet to begin blooming.

The fragrance is glorious.

Iris versicolor (native). Blooms were late this year, profuse and lasted a long time, only just ending now. I think due to all the rain.

That’s a stunning color.

I think it might be worthwhile to move this one to where it gets afternoon shade, since each bloom lasts only a day when the thermometer reads 90+. The others last two days in the 70 - 85F range.
