Those of you on the Iris-Species mailing list should have just enjoyed my 5 wonderful photos of Alophia drummondii. :-) For those of you that would like to enjoy them, you can follow the links: http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/P7020007.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/P7020015.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/P7020021.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/P7020022.JPG http://www.badbear.com/dkramb/P7020025.JPG 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. Dennis in Cincinnati (proud to be able to pronounce "Alophia drummondii" without any doubt in his mind)
