Hey! Hi there everyone. Today its raining and its gonna rain for a week! Not good for the iris unfortunately. Will have to check for rot. But if it rains too much, checking for rot will not help much.
I do have some Oxydate, bought from a commercial agricultural supply house a few years ago.
Supposed to be good to ward off rot. I might have to use it.
But there are about 1500 iris out there! alot of work.
In any case I do have 2 babies in bloom today. Really cute, both historic.
On the right is Buttercup Charm (A. Brown 1969). Its quite rare, but really cute. The yellow is exceptional. Its supposed to be an MDB...its about 8 inches tall right now. Too tall for MDB?
Hmmmm.....
Another cutie is this little guy on the right, Dear Love (Warburton, 1961). The blue is a very delicate shade, with lots of darker texture veining thru the falls.
Warburton is well known for her SDB's.

Well, I guess that is about all for this evening.
See you soon.
