To the left of the front door

To the right of the front door

And far right by the driveway.

These are some of the named varieties in the borders

And some of my own creations

Not quite at their best yet, it’s only the terminal flowers that have opened so far, and some varieties are later flowering.
Great expectations

The irises are beautiful, very colourful.

Absolutely stunning! All together like that they make a wonderful kaleidoscope of colour. Your own creations are also lovely, especially the vivid yellow, such patience!

What a beautiful part of your garden. The colours are just gorgeous.
Each individual iris is so pretty.
You have created something very special.

Fabulous display! Your own crosses are gorgeous - you must be so proud of them!

Ooooh lovely, I would grow more if they flowered for longer. Iris must be one of the most beautiful flowers:-)

Really a beautiful sight, you are so clever.

no wonder irises are called the Rainbow flowers. they are all beautiful and yours are further on than mine.

your own babies are gorgeous and I like the top left and middle right the most.

Thanks everyone, I do enjoy cross pollinating.
SEABURNGIRL, that top left is one of two of my first ever crosses, I call it Chameleon.

What a beautiful array of colour you have a fantastic collection of Iris Siris.

Oh - I commented right away and must have forgotten to send - but now its all been said, so agree, just- glorious, and brilliant results from the crosses!

Thank you everyone. I do love my Irises, I just wish they lasted longer in bloom.

Glorious. I do love Irises & would grow lots if I had the space. Very clever of you to breed your own varieties, must take ages to get them to first flowering. Lovely garden.

Love the very bottom right of your own crosses, but they're all attractive. It must be exciting to see what you have when they first flower.

Thank you for your kind comments. It is a labour of love as I've really not got the space at home, so have had to rent a Concil allotment for the overspill. There must be about 300 there at the moment, not all different I hasten to add!
