Today ‘Strictly Ballroom’ is the lone reminder of my former obsession with bearded irises.

    I loved the movie “Strictly Ballroom,” so I’m glad you kept this iris!

    I didn’t “keep” this iris; it kept me. I still love bearded irises but over the last ten years my yard has gotten shadier and shadier and so they’ve mostly died out. — mss PS. I love the movie “Strictly Ballroom”, too.

    That’s a stunner! I’ve had shade problems with bearded Irises too, both here & at my mom’s garden. But sometimes, the garden suddenly becomes a lot sunnier, which is what is happening here and at her garden this spring. I’m expecting great things from them this year. I might even want to get a few new ones, such as ‘Strictly Ballroom.’

    Lovely! I haven’t seen Strictly Ballroom. May have to put it on the Netflix queue.

    You will love the flick…also love the look of this iris…German’s don’t like it in our southern heat in Charleston, SC…so I will enjoy it from afar

    Ah, what a beauty! She is one of my favorites.

    Thanks for showing your garden to me today, MSS, and for a lovely lunch. It was certainly a pleasure to visit with you, as always. Next time really is my treat!
