A few new blooms...

Post by Garden_of_Mu »

Slowly but surely they keep coming. Bloom is sparse after the move, but I am seeing a few things that haven't bloomed before, so that is nice.

and last for today, a shot of a gorgeous clup of Indian Chief in downtown Oly. I can't wait to have a mass planting of this variety myself.

IC is very very easy to find. It grows like a weed. One of the toughest irises ever produced.

Oh, beautiful! :cool: I like all of them. :D I was the lucky recipient of a piece of your Indian Chief in 2004. It should be in bloom very soon. 8-)
