The Medians are Blooming.

Here are 3 of my early bloomers:

First an tiny Miniature Dwarf Bearded (MDB) from Paul Black, 'Spot of Tea.'  It was in my garden for a few years but getting more shade than I thought.  Now it's happy! This Caparne-Welch Medal winner is a delight at about 5".

Joyful Love is Thomas Johnson 2014 introduction.  In my garden for 2 seasons, it has about 6 stalks. This is blooming at 14".

'Joyful Love' Johnson, 2014 SDB

 New to my garden this season, 'Lovesick Blues' from a Mid-America rhizome with 4 beautiful stalks in it's first year this is a winner! It's blooms are about 8" tall and its veined plicata pattern and great form is making this irisisan very happy!

'Stich Witch' snuck by me... it had one bloom which I missed!
