I’m trying to inventory my irises — I used to have more variety, but somehow the blue and purple ones seem to have survived more. I should have a black one that isn’t open yet, and I thought I had more that were white, and pink… And where is my Pallida Dalmatica???

Will wait a week or two to make sure they’re just not open yet, but after that, I think it might be time to order a few more for next year. Or trade! I think I have enough of that second one to divide it for trading with at least one other person…

Sorry the fifth photo is a bit blurry — it’s kind of buried, and it rained last night, so I would have to wade through a bunch of wet grass to get closer. I want to dig that one up and pull it out; it should bloom better next year if it’s baking in sun in the intervening time.

Really not sure of names, alas. The first might be Blue Suede Shoes, I’m pretty sure the third is Hemstitched (another photo of it later, just ’cause). Beyond that, I’m just guessing…

Some irises I know I planted: Immortality, Best Bet, Swerti, Mme. Chereau, Batik, Gull’s Wing, Flight of Butterflies.
