This spidery purple daylily really pops in the evening. The velvety darker eyezone really sets off the bright star formed by the bright green throat, creamy midrib and cream/rose halo. It is a 32 inch tall, dormant, diploid with a 6 inch flower. 12 buds on 2 branches.

Hey, you gotta love the name. If you love bright baby pink then this is the one for you. Bright pink self with a hot pink eye that almost looks like lips to me. She has a little green throat, a white mid rib and a nicely ruffled edge. The shape is perfectly round and the sepals are a lighter shade of pink and there is an added bonus; diamond dusting. The flowers are almost 5 inches and this dormant, diploid stands 2 feet tall. The bloom is midseason with rebloom and it blooms well (20 buds on 4 branches).

A cream to peach colored daylily with a bright cherry red eyezone and a green throat. The plant is 30 inches tall and has 4.25 inch blooms which appear midseason. A dormant, tetraploid it also has the benefit of fragrance and extended bloom. I love the contrast next to a red miniature daylily.

Although Mrs. Andrist is registered as a tall bearded iris she is really the size of an intermediate at just 20 inches. Many of these historic irise
s were shorter back then. She is an amoena (a color classification) that has pure white standards above purple falls, reticulated with white, including a white edge on the falls. The beard is sunny yellow. Share her often as she is a fast grower and also has the bonus of being fragrant. Originally listed in Mr. Fryer’s catalog from his business, Landsdown Farm, in Mantorville MN, in 1922.

Siberian Iris Gulls Wing
By McGarvey/Wadecamper 1989
Although these gentleman brought this beautiful white Siberian Iris into production I have found references to it being around long before that. Perhaps hundreds of years. It is a tall 30 to 36 inches although it can be shorter in poor soil. It has large lightly ruffled pure white flaring falls on rigid stems. It blooms a little later than the other Siberian iris and its wider falls make it appear almost like Japanese iris. The foliage remains upright and green throughout the summer and turns a beautiful bronze color after frost. Looks a lot like Snow Queen but it has a little larger flower and is taller.

Neither words nor photos can describe the beauty of this little blue violet iris. He blooms early and can be 11 inches tall but is shorter for me on sandy soil. He is very ruffled with falls that are held wide. The blue violet color intensifies around the snow white beards, where a white eyelash pattern is also seen. A light spicy fragrance is a bonus.
