Well Paul, you aren't the only one who's bought iris based on Betty's pictures. lol Between her pictres, Aruba's pictures, Kents Pictures, and yours, I've pretty much made up my wish list on those. Not that other pictures aren't good, but youall sure have nice pics of all the newest ones. Most of the times they are better then the pictures posted by the vendors. I do understand that most vendor web sights can't use high resolution photos. I think you guys should be getting a percentage back form the companies! lol

Thanks....you've included me in some good company

Thanks guys! And may I say that both of you also take fantastic pics!

My Superstition order was planted July 11. We've been in the high 90's most days since but they are doing fine. Here are a few one month later.



I'm going to mulch this bed later this month keeping the compost away from the rhizomes.

Those look beautiful Paul

Thanks Jo Ann....I have visions of next spring and having lots of bloom to take pictures of.

Hi,! Yes, those plants look great! None of mine have that much new growth, altho, with the cooler days for the last week, and a nice,slow,drizzley rain all last night, if you listen close, they are all saying "AAAAH!!" ...Arlyn

I'm just going out to water mine.....any rain we have had here have been so brief that they don't do much good.

Just got my Mid-America order! I'm so happy with it, I ordered Daring Deception, Dipped In Dots, Wicked Good, and Private Eye. I got Strwberry Freeze and Made you Look as gifts! Wow, I'm really happy with that. They look good. I want to get them in the ground asap. I had listed some for subs if needed, and they put two of them in as gifts.

Nice order Tom....I've been wishing I had ordered Wicked Good. Maybe next year. I took all the milk baskets off today. I couldn't stand to look at them any longer. Everything looks nice and green and most are growing, some showing increase.

Sounds like a nice order Tom. I just took a look at *Wicked Good* -- what a beauty!!

I can blame Wicked Good and Private Eye on Kent, He and those wonderful pictures, and then Aruba trumps that with pics of the others, And then there's Betty's pictures, Oh Well, I was held hostage by their wonderful pictures. Like any good addict, I can take no responsibilty for my actions. Dipped in Dots is really a fun looking one as well, can't wait to see it.

I so wanted Wicked Good and totally forgot to order it.

Put it on next years list.......

Absolutely! It's a beauty. And I ordered from Mid America, can't believe I forgot it.

So many Irises -- so little time. And space. And money. And energy. The list goes on.......................

Tom congrats those are some really nice flowers Mid America had some beautiful intro's this year, I can't wait to see what they have cooking for next year.

Hi,! Just got in from planting an order of 6(plus 1 bonus) and an order of 3( with 6 bonus, and I thought my luck was all BAD?! ) The 8x8 bed I made a few weeks ago, which was to be for next year, is looking pretty full! The order of 3 were the ones i "lost" a few days ago to the "punks". I wrote and explained that I had "lost" them, and even tho the orders had closed for the year, they sent me more. Plus all those extras! Nice! All of my earlier plantings are showing nice growth. All is right in my world!...Arlyn

Aryn Isnt it nice to get the problem resolved? Hope the punks dont come back.
Just sent an order to Mid America,how come the only iris left ate the ones over 20 bucks.I did find a few that were reasonable.Hope its not too late in the season.

Jo Ann....I'm moving some median today...they are small starts and probably won't bloom next year. If I plants TBs late I sometimes put a medium sized rock on the toe end until they have rooted in.
