Wednesday blooms in the rain.

CRACKLING CALDERA opened another bloom and has twin blooms today.



SURFERS DREAM FFO.



Here is Surfers Dream with JAMAICAN BREW. It is all the way open today while yesterdays picture it was almost there.



STARRING FFO.



STARRING again. It is a nice deep purple, almost black today. A very dramatic iris, I think.
