More rock garden irises!
«

I realize I am likely dragging many of you back in time with these photos... but that's what happens when we northern gardeners participate in these forums!
So, into the time machine...
1, 2) Here's
Iris taurica
, in full bloom.
3, 4) And
Iris attica
, which came into bloom today, and seems to be getting it over with all in one go!
Iris reichenbachii
, which I had in a trough out front for a few years, was never happy enough to bloom, and was dead this spring.
Iris timofejewii
has a bud and will be in bloom soon - looks like only one, same as last year.
Correction: 3 this year!
I wonder if
Iris taochia
, planted in '08, will finally decide to bloom this year?

like
the climate here!!
), here's
Iris lutescens var. campbellii

As I said elsewhere: The pictures you bring of Irises haven't lessened my intention to expand my (rather small) collection of the genus!
