    I should say my first non-dwarf iris of the year. Each year I forget what was where, so it's a surprise every year! I've lost my book of tags, so I probably will have to do some research on some of these to find out the varieties.

    Iris #1, is old, inherited, don't know the variety.

    Such beautiful iris Pianolady. Mine have a long way to go before they flower so it's a real pleasure to see yours in full bloom.

    Gorgeous! I was iris-less until a kind member of the Stew sent me some this spring. I'm so looking forward to seeing them in bloom next spring. Until then, I'll just enjoy your beautiful blooms!

    They are both very pretty and I'm glad you found the name of the second one, Piano. I fell in love with it and I'm going to get one!
