2014 TALL BEARDED IRIS BLOOMS

Continuing with the 2014 blooms from the garden.  These TALL BEARDED IRISES bloomed this year from early May thru June 8, which was about a week to two weeks earlier this year because of some very warm days in early spring. The last ones to bloom finished blooming just yesterday. These photos make up what I call the blue bed--everything from white to black and all shades of blue in between.

TALL BEARDED IRIS 2014 BLOOMS IN MY GARDEN TODAY

There are a few more irises blooming in the garden today--I have a total of 14 blooming. This will be a banner year for irises in my garden--much different than the past two years--weather-related problems caused many not to bloom because the bud got nipped by freezing temps too early in the season.  Stalks were much shorter as well. There are lots of cultivars with nice buds this year, some showing color--it has begun!

TALL BEARDED IRIS - 2014 BLOOMS

Well, the season has started!  Saturday, my first TALL BEARDED IRIS bloomed!  SUMMER TSUNAMI (Nicholson), a rebloomer, was first to bloom, followed by GNUS FLASH (Brad Kasperek), SKATING PARTY, QUEEN'S CIRCLE, STAR WOMAN (Smith), THEATER, DAUGHTER OF STARS, QUEEN'S RANSOM (Van Liere).  So, nine as of today, It was the first bloom for QUEEN'S RANSOM, but the others have bloomed before.
