In hindsight I should have posted them this way to the Iris-Species
group since I didn't realize how big the files were. The
dialuppers are gonna be annoyed with me. Ooops.
Take special note of the color of the pollen. It's so beautiful!
And I had never quite realized that before. I'm so glad I caught
this flower in bloom.

drummondii" without any doubt in his mind)
Dennis,
Is the curling up of the falls typical of an open blossom or is the
blossom beginning to fade?
