If you could add only 5 more irises to your army of irises, What would yours be?

So far mine would be:

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Ravenous')

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Spiced Cider')

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Copper Clouds')


Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Copper Clouds')

Oh dear, that would depend on when you ask me. Right now I would like reblooming iris, thinking about Breaking Point, Fashionista, Brides Blush, Skyhopper. I like the looks of Haunted Heart too. I can probably give a completely different list in an hour though.

Dark Universe. Unfortunately, Mr. Keppel has sold out of it (or maybe fortunately, because it is out of my price range).



Belgian Princess



Bashful Princess



Royston Rubies



Song of Silence (also currently out of my price range)

Andrea ~ Those are beauties! Especially Song of Silence!

Richard ~ I like Copper Clouds, too!

I saw Song of Silence 'in person' last year at Mid-America. It is really stunning.

Oooohhh! I bet it WAS!!!

Richard, I really like 'Copper Clouds', so much that I planted it last year. Don't think it will see blooms this year, though.

Andrea, 'Dark Universe' and 'Song of Silence' are very, very pretty, too.

My top 5 wants are these:





Kanarowski's 'Gladiators Get Ouchies' and 'Zebra Butter' are unlikely to be available here, very few of his irises are, but I adore their unique looks:

William, I have all 3 of those you have pictured. I love Gladiators Get Ouchies, where can I get that one?????

I found it!!!

Well done Tom! ...and enabling accomplished (again) William!

For today, my 5 most wanted irises would be Dark Universe and Song of Silence from Andrea's list and 'Gladiators Get Ouchies' and 'Zebra Butter' from William's list - would have put them on my want list just for the names, but turns out they're both very pretty too! Last one; MTB Moose Tracks to replace the one that rotted:


I haven't seen any of Kanarowski's irises for sale here, which is sad because he has a lot of really beautiful and interesting ones I would love to grow. ...and those names!

Tom, I'm happy that you found your way to Mariposa Iris.


Lilli, 'Moose Tracks' is really cute. I'm sorry it died for you.
So far I only found a couple of Kanarowski's older irises here. Iris4U have sold 'Dancing Blue Koi' and 'Royal Jammies' in the past, not sure if they will do so this year. I guess we will need a lot of patience.

Gladiators Get Ouchies is an outstanding name. A darn fine looking iris too, which makes me wonder what possessed him to give it that name!

I've been waiting for word on the forum here, as to when/where this one will be available:

My top 3? Oh there are too many I want....but there is one from the mo,ent I saw it, I loved it, and MUST have it at some point. It is,
Reckless Abandon


Daughter of Stars is one I really, really want too.


Oh....and Montmarte


Oops....already up to three. Guess that would be my top 3.

Placing number four though is:
Haunted Heart. I don't know what it is about this grey iris that I looove so much.

Can't help you on Serene Silence but Rockytop is offering another of Kent intros

I am waiting for Big Break to be available in Australia.


I also have my eye on a few irises in Brad's threads about seedlings that haven't been release yet. I love the striped seedlings (I think these are Thomas Johnson's seedlings)


and some of Keppel's plicatas for example...

Thank you for the link!

I waited too long to decide which of Keppel's 2019s to order. Dark Universe will have to be on next year's list perhaps.

I very much want Lace Point, Truth or Dare, When Doves Cry, Rush to Judgement, Serene Silence and Space Signal.
