Bearded Iris and roses

A nice selection Simon. I've got a few of them. Do you mind me asking how you created that photo catalogue?

As I bought them I saved the website photos and then used photoshop to put them together... it's not very well done... because I add to it over time... but I don't really care as it's just a photo record so that I don't need to put labels in the garden and I have a permanent record. As they flower here and I get my own photos I replace these ones with my own (which I haven't done for a while ).

Ah, OK, thanks. I don't have Photoshop. I do keep a record though, one on Excel and a photographic record in Word.

Simon, I love the "Witches Sabbath" fantastic colour and it has that velvet look
Yep the whitish one is from impressive Irises. When they closed down I could afford some labled ones or quite a lot unlabled ( lucky dip) so I went for the unlabled
It would be great if you could get their CD

My colours at present are the soft one's, pale yellow, yellow green, apricot tone's, have you got any of these Simon, Yes the dark one's are nice but not for me at present, so keep posting

I'm waiting for Magician's Apprentice to open! I've got Witche's Sabbath somewhere - I hope.
I've just been checking the website photos, and what I thought was Deja Blue may be Recurring Ruffles instead

Here 'tis

the colour combination of ACT THREE is awesome, really unusual

Thanks Ozroz, it's a winner for me too.

Back for a bit just for today... am under the pump at work and need to put in some extra hours to get things done... had a break today for my Son's 6th birthday and to take some pics:

Don't know this one. The word 'Bee' is visible on the tag. The rest is not clear.

'Can't Buy Me Love', an Impressive Irises new release before closing down.

An oldie from an iris I found growing wild in a ditch on the roadside near Hobart. Will get a better photo as better flowers appear.

Wind snapped this one off. It's a smaller median iris with an amazingly strong perfume.

A freebie from Impressive Irises. Quite a nice one really. I wouldn't normally go for one like this as I have another that's quite close, but as is often the way with these freebies, they turn out to be excellent additions to the garden:

Candy Rock is a beauty Simon

I agree David, the rest are lovely too.

Very lovely, Simon.
Have a look at "Act Three" for a possible ID for the top one.

Here are more of ours.

Love 'em all Carole.
(Note to self-must buy Beverly Sills)

Dont buy one Val. I will check mine when it has finished flowering. It is one from our local Iris farm

Oh thankyou Carole my friend. I wouldn't be getting one till next year anyway.

Better photo of 'Candy Rock'

'Coral Point'. I would have called it 'Sherbet'

'Devil May Care'... will add a better photo when I take one.

I've only had this one, called 'Mixture' (should be 'Mixed Up' instead ), about 3 weeks. You can still see the cut off leaves. Then it decides to try and pop a flower out... most bizarre.

The real oldie from the ditch near Hobart.

'Total Obsession'

Another group of mouth-watering irises, Simon.Total Obsession is stunning, Candy Rock is a beauty too. The old fashioned one has the charm of old gardens. Love 'em all.

Here are some newbies

Polished Manners is a really deep blue which my camera can't capture. I'll try again on a less sunny day.

Val... that oldie is super fertile too... I've put its pollen onto a few different ones like 'Witches Sabbath' to see if I can get some seed to play with. None of the others seem to make much in the way of pollen. Now comes to hard part of trying to ID the oldie

Love the yellow one Val. My yellow ones are about to flower too... been hanging out for them for two years now

Yellow irises are special aren't they. I am most impressed with Good Earth, which I've already posted here. it's a bronze-y yellow and it's bloomed constantly with huge flowers.
This one is bright and lively too, It's more orange than yellow.
