Nice to see someone else who is into them as much as I am.<br />I have to comment on the yellow flag iris. that is an invasive in many areas. so I would be reluctant to share it!

For a very logn time, I suffered from peonies envy when we lived in San Diego Ca. Couldn't grow them there! So, when we moved to Washington State, I started my own peony Farm, called <a href="http://www.ilovepeonies.com" rel="nofollow">PEONY FARM". </a> but I am still wanting more peonies, especially when new varieties are introduced. <b>Peony envy</b> is a deadly sin!peonyladyhttp://www.ilovepeonies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-59764057737598792402010-04-03T08:38:10.064-04:002010-04-03T08:38:10.064-04:00The yellow iris that grows rapidly is neither Japa...The yellow iris that grows rapidly is neither Japanese or Siberian.

Unfortunately I found that thrips LOVE the lighter-colored iris and peonies (anything that's not dark blue or red). I have a serious thrip problem that drives me nutty. I've accepted that the roses will need systemic every year, but the iris, too?

What a dangerous nursery you have nearby! You've inspired me to find a place for more. I did add 'Bowl of Beauty' to my garden last spring and it produced two blooms this year. :-( I can't believe you found it at Walmart! I saw it at our Botanic Gardens then tracked it down at a nearby nursery.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-43318984039203902402009-06-13T00:53:01.853-04:002009-06-13T00:53:01.853-04:00Beautiful photos, Kylee...

I'm really jealous of your Red at Night, because I had to dig out my red "Samurai Warrior' iris last fall due to borers. *sigh*<br /><br />We had 'Immortality' at the garden center this year, and I couldn't believe the wonderful fragrance of those flowers, btw.

I am a big fan of the bearded iris, but have some of the siberian, too. love the Princess Caroline de Monaco, will have to keep an eye out for it. Good luck finding that special orange one; there are so many different irises, I'm sure you'll find one you love . check out Blue J Iris, they have great prices!Muumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181825725581583635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-60357769346966037122009-06-12T22:11:10.480-04:002009-06-12T22:11:10.480-04:00WOW!!

And both of them are great for tucking in among other plants. <br /><br />I have been seeing a lot of tree peony on the garden blogs, and I love them! I guess it is time to break down and spend the $$ for them!<br /><br />I really like the picture of unnamed yellow iris, it almost looks like an orchid. I also like the Red at Night and Princesse Caroline de Monaco.Sylvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186604429680496847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-14981287752283711182009-06-12T07:47:29.893-04:002009-06-12T07:47:29.893-04:00Ooh, I think my iris that I was describing as burg...Ooh, I think my iris that I was describing as burgundy is 'Red at Night.' I've only ever gotten irises as divisions and none has been named! Also, had no idea about Van Wert--it's a reasonable day trip from Ann Arbor.
