A garden star every year … Iris ensata ‘Blueberry Pie’ with her vibrant 6 inch violet blue blooms💜💙 #gardening #flowers

OOPS! Well meaning neighbor kindly let me cross her Reblooming TB 'Orange Juice' (Mike Sutton, 2009) I'd gifted her x my favorite rebloom carrier seedling. She gleefully came over after snapping off not yet ripened pod 😱 & said, "I knew you would want this!" Now in Iris ICU!🏥😅

💕DWARF, YES - BUT LITTLE? NOT SO MUCH! Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB) Iris 'Cat's Eye' (Paul Black, 2002) can make quite a statement, where space permits a single rhizome can spread as many feet across as years the plant is old! Here after heavy thinning - vigorous! Iridaceae

NAME SAYS IT ALL. Horned & Reblooming TB Iris 'Gladiatrix' (Dr. Lloyd Zurbrigg, 2003) has gone to battle with thorny Roses & sweet yet invasive native, Phlox paniculata - she's invincible! Among the last few rebloomers introduced by the late Dr. Zurbrigg. Robust!💪 Iridaceae

Bearded Iris ‘His Royal Highness’ has joined this season’s garden festivities💜 #gardening #flowers

Larkrise - one of the later bloomers looking fabulous today.

So lovely!!

☃️💜🌱After (pic 1), during & before. Reblooming TB Iris 'Mariposa Autumn' (Rick Tasco, 1999) thru 4" of snow Thursday & back at it. Better for warmer climates, in Zones 5-6 usually kicks Fall bloom at hard freeze-up, so I don't use in breeding for cold climate rebloom. Iridaceae

🌱Pink Iris are instant attention getters & I grow several. Here's TB 'Jeff's Guardian Angel' (A. Don Murphy, 2012) - tall, elegant & touched with lace - even more special because 🙏 Don gave it to me personally.😃 Only 4 left at Comanche Acres Iris Gardens - get 'em!😎 Iridaceae
