Thanks guys. They get better and better every year. I just have to read up on when to transplant.
Blueaussi, That's a Fringe Tree. It soft as you can imagine. You barely feel it touching you. The 'blooms'?, come just after the leaves and they cascade downward for a few weeks. Three at most before they start to drop. This year we had a bad thunderstorm come in and blow most off in one evening. Very delicate. Something about that first Iris, the way it stands above everything else and holds it's bloom is special. my kids love to open them up and see whats inside. Greg |

Penny, that one is very close to peach in the sunlight. One of my favorites! All of them are though. Those who grow them know how pretty they are as they dance in the light breeze.
