    I was given a good sized bag of these two years ago and they have settled in well, spread like the dickens and the promise of blooms is higher this year than last.
    This is the first to bloom....

    Very pretty. I'm supposed to get some iris from a lady on freecycle. So we'll see what color they are if she gives them to me.

    I love the bright cheery yellow. And I do like Irises, but I had to dig out a ton of them since they were spreading like gangbusters.

    What a lovely sunshine yellow that iris Toni. I love to see my iris spreading themselves around the garden.

    Very pretty! I like yellow Iris, and at the old house they were the only color that seemed to grow. At this house, only the purple seem to grow :headscratch:

    I had some like that...not sure how many or if I have any left. We had a wet year and I had to throw quite a few away because of rot. I love the yellow because it is so cheery...beautiful!

    Your California Gold are so appropriately named. The yellow is as radiant as sunshine.

    Beautiful toni...I will miss mine, I had left all of them at the other house we moved from. I am still planning and not sure how many plants I will have now, I want to spend most of my time fishing and enjoying the lake...
