Well my first bloom popped a few days ago.
I have at least a dozen in at least 2 varieties that will bloom in the next day or two.

Here are the first shots.

I've always loved blue/purple irises but the rust color one is new to me and so very beautiful!

Timgod · « **Reply #11 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:22:59 PM »

That one is actually more along the burgundy shade.
I have a rust and yellow one that has not bloomed yet this year.
If I remember correctly it is a later blooming variety.
I did not get home until dark today. It looks as if my first yellow will open tomorrow.

Tim,
What is the name of the red iris? It is beautiful.

Your photos are also beautiful.

I would have to check my record books to see if I could tell you the correct names.
Which one were you referring to?
There are 2 different iris that are the red type in this series of pix.
One has a lighter color on the secondary falls while the other is the same color on all of the petals.

Tim, Actually, if you have them, I would like the names of both IMG_3286.jpg and of IMG_3296.jpg. They are both beautiful.
Thanks, Ruth

One of them is Rhett and the other is Frank Chowning.
I am sorry but I have to see them blooming to tell them apart.
One is bit taller than the other and they bloom at about the same time so at that point I can look at their subtle differences.

Thanks, Tim.
I will look for those. They are really beautiful.

They are beautiful.
The only downside is that they have a very short lifespan on the blooms.
Just a matter of weeks for each variety.
The other 11 months of the year they are just green strappy leaves.
