I was stunned when I saw the coloring of this magnificent Iris this morning. The center is such a beautiful light blue with more traditional Iris colors on the outer petals. I think I'm in LOVE!
And Finally, the Iris that I tracked down for my husband has bloomed. I had heard rumors of an Iris named "Banjo Blue" and had to have it for my banjo-picking hubby. Although in this photo it might seem slightly lavender in reality it is a stunning blue.
I have no idea what the variety name for this Iris is. So I've decided until I find out that I'm going to call it Radish. Seems color appropriate.
We had a lot of thunderstorms and rain last night. I was worried about my poor flowers and rushed out to check on them at 6:15 a.m this morning. I was thrilled to see this beautiful Iris display! 
And soon we will move from Iris time to Daylily time. Don't you love gardening?

Wonderful. I really need some irises for my yard, I love the varieties you shared with us.
I think floral gifts are the best gifts of all! A great surprise in every bud.
Gorgeous! Iris is one of my favorites. Mine are just starting to open. Very lovely.
You have a beautiful variety! Mine are giving me much pleasure right now.
Beautiful. Wish they'd bloom in my shade!
You're flowers are treasured gifts. it's an ideal place to live in. i can find relaxation by just looking at those pictures you posted. lovely!
You,re right, that blue with the lighter center is a knockout. Your irises look very pretty in front of your log cabin home. It seems "old timey."
Your garden is georgous! I have to laugh as I remember you saying at the Garden Club meetings you weren't really a gardener, you just wanted to be one. You definately are one!
Your cabin and surroundings look charming! I have a stone path just like that! Took me all summer to do...we had no running water for almost a year..our soil is CLAY!...so after each rain...I'd go out and squish the rocks in the play-dough!! I, too, love the Iris...and hey..we all "brag"!!
