Mariposa Autumn Blooms (pics)

I could have sworn I posted pics of this yesterday, but the post seems to have disappeared. So here you go, for your viewing pleasure, Mariposa Autumn, blooming two and a half months after planting:

The blooms are a bit smaller than Total Recall, and the color appears more red here than in the garden, where it looks pretty much purple.

Lovely photos here. I bought Mariposa Autumn in 2008 and it bloomed this past year for me. Total recall and Frequent flyer very pretty too.

Wish rebloomers would rebloom here. After seeing this I had to go and check the ones I planted 4 months ago, but no such luck. Your landscaping is beautiful! Everything here already dead, no leaves on trees, etc.

Thanks texas10gal. The white iris on the left is Frequent Flyer, a rebloomer, and the pale yellow on the left is Total Recall, an iris that blooms almost year-round here in Southern California. Here's another shot of Total Recall:

And here's Frequent Flyer:
