A couple of bearded ones....

These are all old old old varieties. I got the pinkish one form my mothers late second husband. It was from his mothers garden...

The yellow one is from a an iris in our local historic garden

Nice looking historics, Alexa.

Sibs generally bloom after the beardeds. Sometimes early Sibs will bloom with the late TBs, then the Sibs will continue on after the TBs are finished.
