Digital: preview of Iris Festival

[dragon_moon]

These were with the digital and aren't as clear as the ones with the Canon. However, I haven't had time to scan any of those, so these are what I have to share for now. :o) The flowers there were all gorgeous, and the names were a fun combination of humorous and pretty.



In order: Cranberry Crush, Enchanted One, Everything Plus, and Queen in Calico.

Those are pretty. I like iris but I've only got a couple and I don't know what kind they are. They're kind of like the first one. Of the four here I really like Enchanted One. Beautiful..

They had the most amazing color combinations--I was unable to pick just one that I liked, and certainly couldn't have consistently picked them out from the similiar varieties. lol. They had 100's of varities and sometimes the differences were pretty subtle to a casual observer (i.e. size, shape, blooming time, etc). I like the first two of this set especially well.

I didn't see one exactly like the beautiful ones we had at the house I grew up in...but I don't know if my memory is faulty or if they no longer 'breed' for that exact coloration. There were several that were close, just not like I remembered anyway. :o)

Wow!

I love Iris! These are so lovely. Thanks for sharing. I'm jealous that you have a festival for my favorite flowers.

You're welcome! Irises are one of my favorites...at least, the bearded irises are. *g* Yeah, I had no idea that they had so many festivals and such for flowers up here. Glad that I finally discovered them, though, they're great and inexpensive fun. I'm eventually going to order a bulb or two from them, would you like me to pick up an extra catalog to mail to you? They've got a huge range of colors and such.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass. I'm currently living on campus, and soon will be in some sort of apartment. So I'd have nowhere to plant Irises, and I'd be bummed about it. Hope you can plant some beautiful ones.

You're welcome, and I understand how that goes. I'm looking forward to ordering some irises next year, for sure. :o)
