Ghio Iris

Great thread, since I am currently getting my order together for Mr Ghio and Mr Keppel. Snowpeak and Mid America is done. Superstition upcoming.

And hi, Lilylu, and welcome to ATP!!!!

I ordered some Ghio iris from Superstition. They came last week and I have planted them. They include Bowled Over, Picture Book, Bubbling Waves, Center Ice, Romantic Lyric, and Through the Clouds. Anxious to see them next year. I also have an order coming directly from Ghio and I will list what I receive when they come.

Paul, that star appeal sure is a nice pink. Is it thrifty? So many of the Ghio iris don't do well for me unless I put them in my micro climate. Although last winter was mild, and they did really well. I forgot to list Staring, another one of his that I like alot.

Tom....Nice picture of Starring. I've wanted it and several people grow it here. We are having our UIS sale/auction next week and I hope there is a start there. My Ghio iris have been doing fine but we have had mild winters recently. I think we are 5b-6a depending on who you ask. Star Appeal grew well but just gave me two large increase to bloom next year. I hope it increases well this year because I would like to have some to take to our UIS sale/auction next year. We can never get enough pinks there to please public demand,

There are so many good ones that he has created over the years its hard to pick a favorite the list would go on and on and I think the best is yet to come from him here are some favorites that I saw this spring that were really nice

Bravery


Pop Idol


Plot LIne


Winning Hand


Engagement Ring


Uninhibited


Iconic


Through The Clouds


Regimen


Brouhaha


This last one was a seedling that I hope makes it one day

Great pictures Tom and Brad....a person could have a large bed of Ghio intros with endless variety. The same could be said for Keppel, Black, Johnson, and others.

I agree and they all keep getting better every year thats what makes it hard to pick favorites it seems to change every year about the time the new catalogs start coming

I think Pop Idol is really nice, I had it, made it through the winter, had one bloom, and then died. I had Super Hero on my list to buy this year, but I just couldn't justify $50 with the luck I've been having with his iris, so I'll wait until it goes down some and then give it a try. Plot Line is an interesting one too.

I hope the seedling makes the cut.....

I have several Ghio Irises that I like. They're older ones, but that's OK with me.

*Epicenter*


*Comfortable*


*Magical*


*Inside Job*


*Society Page*


I also have *Impressionist* -- an Iris that I love, but which is very tempermental. Stingy with blooms and increases. Beautiful, though.........


I agree with Paul -- I love Ghio Irises!!

Very pretty Mary Ann....I really like the picture of Magical.

Thanks Paul. Coming from you, that's a real compliment!!

I started this thread on Ghio irises back in March over in the Irises cubit:

When I enlarge the picture of Magical the blossom just visually jumps at me from the back ground....almost magical. I'd have been pleased to have taken that picture.

Betty...thanks for reminding me of your Ghio thread on cubits.....boy there are a lot of nice ones in all these pictures..

;Hopeless romantic' did well in the Madison WI iris convention a couple years ago.
