Beautiful!!! Please continue to share.

I just had to go browsing at some of the sites listed and I made up a $200 wish list last night and printed it out. DH brought it to me, with this preplexed look on his face???? Mona, what is this???? Oh, it's a list of TB Iris. (of course I knew he was thinking I had lost my mind) but I let him tip toe on through that Iris patch. Mona, did you buuuuuuuy these?????(please lord, no!!!) No, my darling husband, I'm just looking and wanting and will probably lose the list before time to order. You could immediately see the relief on his face. (he wiped his brow with a sigh) and I smiled and walked off Big Grin Big Grin I have to keep him guessing! Whistling

Paul, thanks for starting the new thread, and your SDBs are gorgeous.

Debra, I love your Best Bet, I have it but I haven't seen it bloom yet. I hope I'm lucky enough to see blooms this year.

Arlyn, my Ziggy actually bloomed for the first time last fall, and it's blooming again now less than 6 months later. It's funny that 1 clump has the broken color, and the other does not. I like both both blooms.

Mona, you are toooooo funny. Yep, keep him guessing!

Yes, the broken color iris can be that way. Seems some rhisome are affected much more than others, and location in the garden seems to make a differenc ,too....Arlyn

Lovely pictures Sue....I like them all but really love 'I'm Dreaming'......a worthy goal for an aspiring hybridizer would be some really good pink amoenas. The picture of 'Spiced Tiger' is wonderful ....I remember when Kasperaks started getting interested in iris and started attending Utah Iris Society meetings. He had specialized in Gladiolus before he switched to iris and certainly made his mark. Lucy...that is a cute little MDB.
