Thorn Hill Irises

06/06/2026

Then Super Scott cut down a tree so that I could have a very special iris bed. I wanted something I could easily see from my window first thing in the morning, to fill with my absolute favorite irises. I'll post a few pics of what's going in there too!

It's been a busy day! We're putting in a bog for Pseudatas and Louisianas. Super Scott tilled the hole so the dirt was easier to move (what a guy!!). Check out what we'll be putting in!

The Little Pod That Could!

One last gasp from Tillamook Bay. It tried so hard!! Hopefully it will bloom in full glory next year.

My lone surviving pod and Tillamook Bay trying for one last bloom.

Moving some of the old irises out to the pasture to make room for the new ones!

Well, either I jumped the gun, or this year has been extra crazy. Suffice to say, most of what I thought were developing pods...weren't. BUT! I HAVE ONE POD! AND IT WAS ON PURPOSE!
Stay tuned, and we shall see what comes of it. Pod parent is Tango To the Moonlight, pollen parent is Memories of Winter.

I didn't think I was going to be hybridizing this year. Looks like God had other plans! Originally I thought these would all be Flavescens pollen, but Flavescens is sterile, so....

I'll post the pod parent and whatever was blooming at the time for possible pollen parents. I've also noticed a few beetles in the blooms, so maybe self pollen.

Still blooming!
