SkinSabbath Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I moved to Denver about 6 years ago, and when I got here there were these awesome B&G flowers in the front yard! They just came in this week.

Mania Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've heard of Gibbsians. They're a different breed. They have two cycles the first being the longest. The first cycle lasts 11 years and the 2nd cycle lasts 5 years. It is a very triumphant flower found in the hall of fame of flowers for its texture and scent.

Yeah, I hear it's a Champion flower.....matter of fact it's won three championships in the past and looks like it will win a few more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Thats an Iris of some kind. You can tell because the leaves look like giant blades of grass and by the shapes of the flowers. Yeah - I know about flowers. Sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halter91 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 what are they really called, I need to get some for my front yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Pah! Irises? Please! Blondie and Tarhog are giving you poor advice. Those are extremely dangerous and toxic plants! Pull them out before they overtake your yard. They leech trichonosis and hepatitis-like bacteria into the soil, may kill your grass and harm small pets/children. Send me the plants -- make sure to include root systems and soil -- and I can do some further diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Ok, Ok, fine. Like Tarhog, I like flowers. Whatchu gonna do about it? They are indeed iris variants. They go by several names and, in fact, there are several types that have similar colors. Names include: Blondie's Whoop'em Up Iris (see above) Dante's Inferno Iris Gypsy Caravan Iris Iris 'Blatant' (a bit duller, maroon red and yellower-yellow) If you decide to purchase or pursue one of the above irises, my advice is to seek help from a local gardening store before searching for bulbs on line. Mrs. TheDane and I have had about 50% hit rate of on-line purchased bulbs taking root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
