Can't wait for my new iris

Despite the funky weather we've had recently my bearded iris have done pretty well. I just wish they lasted longer! :-? I've been keeping an eye on 3 different ones on ebay. I just won "Raspberry Fudge" and am still watching "Cat's Hat" and "Clown Around". I really like the iris and day lilies because they are low maintenance and spread so easily~makes them easy to share!! I've been hinting, ok~ outright asking Bret for a new iris bed for my birthday!!!

 

I absolutely love bearded iris, one of my favourites. Unfortunately I only have one variety, the common blue flag bearded iris. Well done on winning Raspberry Fudge, sounds lovely. Don't forget to post a photo of it. Good luck with the other bids, hope you win.

 

I always run around and check the Iris greenery long before the stalk appears, to feel if a flower stalk is growing. Sort of counting your flowers before they bloom. I hope you get your wish, they are beauties when they open up.

I didn't realize e-bay has flowers...great that you won ....I like easy gardening too...daylilys are a favorite of mine.

 

I love the names of those irises... makes them sound so full of personality! Can't wait to see them... and good luck on the iris bed.

Hope this link works!! I cant stop when it comes to Iris. I am planning a new Display Garden Out near the Iris patch I have now.

 

Oh my gosh PondLady!!!! Are all of those yours??? That is AWESOME!! The Burst of Joy and Exclusivity are delicious!!! I think I might have gotten Sugar Blues from you. Is it REALLY tall?? It is one of my Favorites. I'm afraid I'm already an "Iris Junkie in training"

Sherry, I have gotten many different plants and seeds off of ebay. A lot more variety than I'd ever find in my little home town

 

I'm with you, I love iris, I recently found a huge patch in the deep shade, I'm sure it was sunny long ago, I will be transplanting them, one still blooms and it's very pretty, I hope they survive the move!

 

Did you win those Iris?

I really like bearded iris, but they're not too fond of our climate and I have no really good bearded iris space, so I make do with the Siberian type. Not as showy but nice nonetheless.

 

What an amazing selection of iris Pondlady, I didn't realise there were so many varieties. Beautiful photos.
