Now that is a keeper!!!!, be sure to mark the tuber so you don't give it away... I've done that... :(

[Jojopotato]

Isn't it pretty... I know I will have to dig it up next year after they bloom just so I know which is which... LOL

You could write on one the leaves with a sharpie or tie a twist of yarn or ribbon low on the stem of the flower to help you remember.

Good advice Charla!! Where were you when I needed you!!! :grin:

[Terri]

[Jojopotato]

Great Idea Charla... Thanks..

Wow, that is one beautiful iris. Don't think I've ever seen one quite like that with the brown edging. I bought some really small plants this year, didn't think they'd do anything, but all have bloomed. All have had no less then 3 flowers, one having 7, and this one blew over in the wind, so I brought it in and enjoyed it in the house.

Beautiful Marla! I think I have those last two pale ones. Jojo your's sure is different, I don't think I have ever seen a border like that around the edge.

Here is Amity Estate ... it had 10 blooms on it at once and I MISSED the picture opportunity :-x

Would you believe another Epi? My daughter grabbed some from a friend that was moving and had them piled outside for a couple of weeks. I left them on the patio for a few days and discovered one had a bud ... sure didn't expect it to bloom! !rofl Now I just hope it roots.
