Tom's Kissed by an Angel:



And a couple of Paul Black's:

Steal Your Heart - just opening.



Let's Play Dress Up (yes, I want one please!)

Tom has created some stunning "bleeding falls" and striped irises lately.

I agree! They also have some great flattie seedlings and luminata seedlings which I will be posting. There is an overwhelming amount of beautiful seedlings being grown by Thomas and Paul right now. The hybridizers from Smoking Heights and from New Zealand were making loads of crosses on the seedlings. You could see lots of cross tags from them and others while walking the fields.

If Smokin Heights are making crosses at Mid America surely they will bring them to Australia . I will checking the tags in your photos more closely from now on.

Some that I liked when I was there.

Robin - I believe that Thomas sends them the seeds from any pods that form so in a few years you may see the crosses introduced.

Riversdale1 - You are a tease . Did you make any crosses while you were there?

Thanks for the info Leslie. Sending the seeds to Australia is a logical way to do it.

Paul Black's I Broke It (clever name for a broken color iris).




And his popular, for good reason, I'm All Shook Up:

Tom's Good Morning Sunshine:




And his Gibberish, which I fell in love with!


Actually I would grow all four of these in my garden any day!

Ghio's Gentle Soul, a little too rained on, and with 4 stands and falls, but still pretty.

Future Ruler -



That is it for "Future"

I predict a "Future" puchase.

LOL, there is way to many on this thread that I would love to purchase! Thanks for sharing such lovely pics.

Teresea - I am finding that by posting I am my own worst enemy because now I want so many of them!

Uh, oh!

And then, those of us who read your posts are wanting them, too!

Aren't you all glad I am posting them while you can still order from Mid-America this year?

Thanks, Leslie. I enjoyed seeing those & appreciate that you'd shared !.While I just finished potting up an order from Mid America. Of course, that rhizome of 'Adriatic Noble' just had to be enormous & was absolutely delighted about that. I'm also certain, I'll be pleased with 'Exploding Galaxy' & 'Cosmic Voyage', too, among others ! Maybe, they'll get some serious Awards, later..
Hope you were able to decide, on just what to get, from that great selection, you saw & it can be rather challenging, just to decide on what you want, the most.....
