& so it begins again, that iris lust/enabling/habit-forming...

uh, 'scuse me, I was thinking out loud.

Those are all *gorgeous*, & they're all my favorites, but I think Chasing Rainbows is my very favorite favorite.

Wonderful photos, Shadow. You sure know how to pick 'em- every one of these is just beautiful. One photo actually brought out my bloodlust though- I really want to squish that guy on Chasing Rainbows.

I have always loved photos of French CanCan. Maybe I should get it for my mother...

I know, isn't it terrible. Planted 65 new ones this year, all ready have way too many to take care of. I was going to get rid of 65 but just couldn't find ones that I didn't like, so here we go again. I love Chasing Rainbows and French Cancan. Both have bloomed every year. I need to re-make my list of irises that I have.

I am bowing before your camera skills. To see the actual colors of Beguine is amazing. The fall "mustard" (Dijon) is so often blown out to white.

Thank you, thank you.

Beautiful!! I love CHASING RAINBOWS. I don't remember mine blooming this yr. And somewhere out there I supposedly have FINAL CALL, but haven't ever seen it bloom. Thanks for showing it.

Thanks Iris Gal, but its the camera :)

Hi Beth! Miss your A-Z pictures. Final Call is one of my favorites. I tried 7 crosses with it, both as pod and pollen but none of them took. When I looked it up in the Iris Register there were no other ones with that parentage. Maybe its sterile. I love it anyway!
