Ayn, there is something wrong with knick knack. Yours shows yellow falls. I like that little guy but I don't think it is KK. And I want some of the park noid if you can spare it. Quote | Post #1134896 (1)

You should already have some of the 'park noid", but you can have more, if you want. That was the one you called "Arlyn's Early". As to KK, I put the captions at the bottom of the pics, so KK is the little plicata, and the yellow falls are on "Noid #1 Quote | Post #1134897 (2)

OK. That makes much more sense. I was wondering how I could have sent you one iris and you totally have another but the most puzzling part was why an expert grower like you could have mistaken it for KK. I was worried to about how far off the mark I was and how I managed that. Thanks for the clarification. A real duh moment for me. lol Quote | Post #1134942 (3)

Duh ! moments are about all I seem to have, anymore ! I see I have a couple more blooming (by looking out the window !! ) Looks like Reddy Set, for sure, blowing in the wind ! When I finally get done "soaking" and get dressed, I'll venture out with the camera. Quote | Post #1134962 (4)

Reddy Set baved the cold and wind ,to open a bloom....must be that spending it's "formative years" in the North East, it's used to nasty weather ; and "park noid" is still going, although the first blooms are withered, now. Still, it makes a nice splash of color; Quote | Post #1135010 (5)

Thank you for posting the photos, Arlyn & I am glad that your plant is behaving itself. Never know what the 'kids' do when they leave home. Quote | Post #1135035 (7)

I like that little iris and there is not another one like it. Some years it is a rich glowing firey color and some years it is brown/gold. Quote | Post #1135513 (13)

I see lots of SDB buds showing color, maybe opening later today ......just in time for the storm/heavy rain predicted for tonight to wreck them Quote | Post #1135521 (14)

I wish the *substance* was better on Red At Last......the least bit of sun, wind, or dampness totally wrecks the bloom . This is about the third to open, and the first that lasted all day ! Quote | Post #1135615 (18)

I finally have a couple of stems showing, on the Eleanor Roosevelt clump that rebloomed last fall just before a hard freeze. The other ER clump has shown no blooms in the fall or stems now. So spring is here! Since I have mostly TB's and IB's I don't see those really early blooms. Quote | Post #1135619 (19)
