It looks a bit like Enchanted Mocha but the standards have too much lavender. Is it an SDB? Quote | Post #1245336 (1)

Not sure what it is, but it's a cute one. Quote | Post #1245337 (2)

Here's the pix from the other day...I never got back out to take anymore, so there *should* be quite a few *new* ones this morning.First though....the one I asked you to "guess at" was *supposed* to be Howesie (John Burton)......but , there's definitely an error someplace! I was hoping someone would recognize the little thing ! I'll need to send Ginny an e-mail, and see if she recognizes it. I will wait a bit, until the rest of last years order blooms, to see if the mix up is on my end,....but, I don't recognize it as anything that I ordered Baby Tears (Weiler 1980) this one deserves another pic....it's really putting on a show , this year ! Blueberry Tart (Chapman 2002) This one was just opening, and still pretty *tight* Stitch Witch (Willott 1975) This one is getting pretty "long in the tooth", but still holds it's own ! Vixen Elf (Denise Stewart 2013) Voldy's Mink (Moran 2010 / 12) Quote | Post #1245369 (4)

Those are beautiful, Arlyn. I received a wrong iris from them before, and I know a few other people who have also. I hope you are able to find out what it is, as the colors are very pretty. Quote | Post #1245416 (6)

Baby Tears is sure very happy, I love it. I like the falls on Voldy's Mink. Quote | Post #1245423 (7)

Great colors going on Arlyn. With as many irises that get sent all over the country, it's a wonder there are not more errors. It is annoying though if you can't find out what you have. Your Baby Tears is doing great! Quote | Post #1245593 (9)

Little Hiawatha looks correct--remember we wondered. Quote | Post #1245701 (15)

You're Indian bed must be pretty colorful right now with little ones. Quote | Post #1245726 (16)

crowrita1 Apr 25, 2017 5:18 AM CST Name: Arlyn Whiteside Co, Illinois Zone 5A

I'm sure Little Hiawatha IS correct, Lucy ! And, Thank You, again !! If it wasn't for the generous "Iris Buddies"out there...my garden wouldn't be nearly as nice !! The beds ARE starting to get some color, Tom ! Most all the SDB's have been there long enough, now, to be really nice sized clumps (quite a few will need division this year, in fact), so there are "multiple days" of bloom from each one .

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Arlyn. Gorgeous as always, and several I haven't seen. No rain today but it is back later this week. And it is warm again today, no jacket needed. A couple plant sales this Saturday I hope to attend, and an out of town dinner that Mrs Red will attend with me that evening. We don't get away often, so it will be a welcomed short trip. And you are right about iris buddies...they're awesome. But I suspect down here they are called iris bubbas. Either name, I've been blessed by them too and greatly appreciate them.
