| Part two coming later, this is part one.
Temple of Lights. This is a Rockytop intro and a bonus they sent me.
Winter Waltz. Just starting to bloom. Schreiners Iris from two years ago. I think this one will look really nice once the entire clump starts blooming.
Magical Encounter. Another Schreiners Iris bonus. I do really like it, don't have much else going on in pink! |

| Love Winter Waltz, very nice coloring. My Magical Encounter didn't bloom this year, I think it is my best pink. |

 A better picture of WINTER WALTZ. Nancy- I had no other pinks so tried to get some last year but most are not blooming. I will see after bloom season if I need more, I think I might. |

| Winter Waltz really is pretty. I have Williamette Mist which has similar coloring, I really love that look. I have a few pinks, but none are really ruffled & fancy. I did get Happenstance, but it hasn't bloomed yet, it may be much better. I think Magical Encounter has the most pink color of any I have. |

| My pinks are all peachy. I like them, but the cooler pinks are really eye-catching. |

| I love Winter Waltz! I have that one too, and it looks lovely next to the deep purples. Temple of Lights is a pretty one too. If you want pink, consider Happenstance. It was a prolific bloomer, over a long period of time. Schriners has it.

| It is pretty and you know I want to order from Schreiners. Will see what I have after they all bloom. I need some lighter colors to make all the purples and deep colors pop more. |

| OMG!!!! Happenstance...WOW!!! I am such a newbie gardener, how/what do you feed these irises? My sad yard just does nothing compared to anybody elses...I just don't know about soil amending and feeding. Soooo much to learn! |

| Depending on the soil, very little to no fertilizer and ALWAYS a low nitrogen fertililer. High nitrogen makes for lots of leaves and no blooms. Plant the rhizomes high so that they get sunlight in order to bloom. |

I just really like WinterWaltz. It is such a lovely soft blue. It really looks blue while so many look purple to me.
