Blooms as of 8 May 2013

'Snowy River' was a gift to attendees at the GRIS meeting in 2011 from Wendy Roller.  It bloomed in 2012 and is now beautifully established and prolific!

 'Snowy River' (A. & D. Willott, R. 1984)

It's a nice show of my new labels this year.

This purchase from Mid-America is one that will bloom during its first year in the garden here!

A purchase at the GRIS sale last year is also blooming this year.  'Panda Paws' from the hutchings is just lovely.  I can't find it listed so if anyone has info about its pedigree, please send it along.

The First Bearded Iris of The Season!

Snowy River is a MDB (miniature dwarf bearded) iris.  MDB is the smallest classification, and the smaller they are, the earlier they bloom!  Less than 5" tall and 2" across, this pure white beauty was a gift from a fellow GRIS (Greater Rochester Iris Society) member last fall.

In a month the tall bearded irises will be in bloom!
