For a few years now, we pick up all the good pots of iris on the last day of our local thrift store’s garden sale. At 50 cents each, it’s hard to go wrong, but you don’t know what you get until the next year.
Some of this years new ones.

This is the reblooming bearded iris, “I’m back”. It’s been blooming for the past two months, and also bloomed during iris blooming time this Spring. It has a strong, sweet/spicy iris fragrance. I’ve read that the variety “Immortality” is a “reblooming machine”. I have “Immortality” and like it, but in my garden it rarely reblooms and did not this year. This “I’m Back” was planted in summer 2018 and has been very vigorous.
This is another rebloomer, “Sunny DIsposition”. I meant to upload the photo earlier. I’ve had it for almost 20 years. Sometimes it reblooms in fall, sometimes not. It has a nice fragrance but not as much as “I’m Back”.

Very nice. My re-bloomers are so hit and miss that they take me by surprise when encountering them. “I’m Back” sounds encouraging.
My iris are in full bloom right now! @clarkinks I saw where you were looking for some last year, did you ever find any. Mine are going to need thinning here before long and I will have lots of extra roots/rhizomes. I just need to see when the best time to do this is, I’m not looking forward to separating. image|690x516

Great collection @ctduckhunter. I have one iris doing ok. Its not a traditional iris like i think of. I do like this new type but im still learning about them. The old purple common iris is really one that i like. Yes please let me know when you decide to divide them if you have extras!
