Ummmmmm -- Cameron? That list that you're making of ones to look for later in the year? We call that a *wish list*. Funny thing about wish lists -- they grow, and they grow, and they grow. Even as you add new Irises to your beds, you add more Irises to your wish list. Kind of an open revolving door type of thing. I'm gonna love reading your posts about this time next year!! Rolling on the floor laughing

Dennis -- I love the Iris in your avatar. Did I ask you what Iris that is? Is it one of your seedlings? Lovey dubby

You have asked the same question earlier. I will give you several this summer when I divide these clumps. No bloom stalks up yet.

Dennis -- I just looked at larger versions of your photos above. I can see the similarities in each of these Irises -- but it's amazing to me that they can all be so different, yet come from the same seed pod. Sort of like brothers and sisters in people, I guess........

I'm gonna look at the bottom one again -- it has a narrow gold rim, doesn't it?
