This Bud's for You!

Rip City Iris
The irises are fashionably late.

Rip City Iris
 I'm glad they decided

About Town Iris

About Town
 Could this be yet another magic bottle?
Yes, that's a drunken poppy in the background.  
What am I going to do with the poppies?

Inherited
I'm not sure what this inherited daylily looks like.  
I bet I'll know tomorrow.

  1. Drunken poppy, elegant, empty bottle. Party, night and day. Drive carefully.

  2. I have some daylilies that I am anxious to bloom, too, as I don't recall what color they are! In fact, I don't even remember planting them! (Now, that's bad!) Rip City Iris is gorgeous!!! Love that deep dark color.

    1. Hi Holley, Our unidentified dayliles will be a big surprise for us! Thank you ... I love Rip City too. I'll be sure to post pics of it tomorrow. There's a gardener in Arizona who raves about having Rip City in her garden (has had it for years), so I'll bet it would work for you if you're looking for a new iris. :-)

    1. Hi Jane, Rip City bloomed today and it's a beauty! I'll be sure to post photos tomorrow (just couldn't quite get my act together today). Hope all is well across the pond for you. x

  5. I was watching something on tv about a man who has devoted his whole garden to lilies of every kind - now that I have seen your photos I can see why - they are beautiful.

    1. Thank you, Elaine. If you ever start collecting them, they'll draw you in.
