Dear Mark,
Thanks for sharing the pix (I guess-see later).
Your Allium 'Olympic Fire' is a very distinctive in flower
form and color. Any more info on this oddity?.
Allium zebdanense - Glad to see this. One of my favorites
although quite tiny. It clumps up and does not spread for me.
Iris 'Lancer' - this is a another beauty. One of the best and
easiest of the Aril -bred hybrids. They were great here this year and
need thinning. Trouble is the best time to do this is mid-summer when
the temps are unbearable. I procrastinate.
And cruel and unusual punishment to see how lush and glorious
your I cycloglossa grows. That's a beauty and I am SO jealous. So
unlike most all other Juno Iris. It looks like a Dutch Iris on
steroids.
The Allium karataviense 'Red Globe' is awfully nice. Looks
more refined than I recall and very striking.
After 10 days away from my garden, things here look out of
hand already, but the late spring continues and more in bloom than
should be now.
Show us more pictures! Thanks Jim W.
