Loving dwarf iris is a fairly new thing for me. For a few years it was tall bearded all the way. That was until some generous members sent me some littles, and then I bought a few, and then I discovered that half a wine barrel made a good "raised bed" for the littles. What are your favorite dwarves?

Thank you, Bonnie!

Jan ~ I think that Giggles and Grins is one that Leslie lost and cannot find.

Hopefully, G & G will make some increases! Very nice photos of it by Leslie.
It was planted here last year, and I'm hoping to see a bloom in the spring.

Jan - it was a good grower while I had it so hope you get nice blooms! It is really a sweet iris.

As for my favorites? Oh my. I will have to think, but my very favorite for some reason is Inner Space. I love dwarfs with the round form, and this one has an interesting mix of color. And always looks so sweet.

Oh Leslie ~ How pretty! I really like that one , too!

Those are both really nice!

I hope Bonnie is alright, haven't seen her in awhile.

I hope so too.

Hands down: Teagan. I keep cutting on it to share with others and the clump just keeps growing. It's my Clarence of the SDB world. It has blue, it has green and just encompasses Spring for me. Also it blooms in abundance.

I love it's colors too Elsa. Just doesn't grow as well for me.

I got Teagan in 2018, from a sweet lady on this forum. I hope it blooms for me this spring.

I keep calling it Negan, stupid Walking Dead corrupting my mind.

I've never watched the Walking Dead…

You're not missing much, it's no longer worth watching....yet I still watch it.

that's funny. Creature of habit.

Inner Space!

Elsa ~ Teagan is a delicate beauty for sure.

This little fella is a spring and fall blooming machine.

I think I saw on this forum in the various blooming threads that Teagan is a prolific rebloomer? YES please!

Hippie, Autumn Jester is cute! I need to purchase some of the Spoons' tiny rebloomers and bloomers. I'm sure it would help appease me when nothing is blooming after around September by having a tiny one bloom!

An sdb called Plum Wine has a bud that's showing color ! Calif.Sue sent me home with a variety of smalls when we visited her garden in 2016. Suzanne!

Monty - the Spoons' iris should do really well for you being VA born. They take a year to establish themselves here but then do very well.
