| Bearded Iris "Before the Storm" 5.14.19 |
It's been raining for more than a day, so most of the current iris flowers are somewhat less than perfect. Still, it was nice to re-identify a couple of the rescued cultivars that had lost their labels, and see what a new one looked like.
There are several dark dark blues, which correspond to the original cultivar that I had of "Before the Storm". These held up nicely in this rain.
The variety "Cheetah Cheez" is a variegated (broken color) with a predominance of yellow and orange. Mine came out with mostly purple-ish colors. I don't know what variety this really is.

Allowing for thefact that iris colors often look bluer in photos and online, than in person, this may be the variety "Kinkajou Shrew". Or not.

| Bearded Iris "Red Dirt Road"/ 5.14.19 |
The very tall, brick red iris is "Red Dirt Road" Nice size and the color is nice.
I was able to re-identify the variety "Sunny Disposition", which I've had for almost 20 years.
I was looking at photos of "Zin City" online, and starting to regret buying it. It's in a smaller size class, but the color and flower are very nice, especially in person.
If I can get some photos tomorrow in better light and better camera, I'll give it a try. These are not as vibrant as the flowers are in person.
