I need darker siding on my house! I have tried taking photos at dusk---very tricky. And not much time to get them before it's too dark.

Actually, I took these when it was nearly dark out!  I will post a few more later... I did go out and take some more at lunchtime, when the sun wasn't out.

Nice photos Shirley. I would like darker backgrounds for mine. Scroll down to the bottom after you add your photo to get a space for text.

Even short chunks of iris rizome with a fan will bloom the next year if it's healthy! Schreiners in OR has been excellent. Here's Cherry Blossom Song up close.

For some reason, I was unable to put words on my picture, so I will just post a couple more.  My iris are all out, but won't last long with our extreme heat and humidity.  We need rain badly too.

Lorriane, your iris are so lovely.  The one you said was there when you came was at my place too.  Must be an old pass along.  I don't love it but I do love how prolific it is.  I want to get some of the rebloomers.  I would love to have the flowers later in the season.  Thanks for the pictures ladies.
