Brad, I have Joviality, got it in 2012, but it didn't bloom last spring. It does have a quite a few increases, so maybe it's one I can send you. So many of those that I planted in 2012 didn't bloom, think they had all they could do to just survive that heat. They all have increased nicely though, so they should bloom next spring.

All Smiles is on my wish list too. Love that one. That's a Sutton, isn't it? Those seedlings are really nice, are they Ghio's?

Lucy, nice ones, both of them.

MTB
'Spanish coins' is an oldie but as been increasing well. I should grab its pollen in the spring.

Tom -- you should recognize some of those on my list........................ ;-)

Brad -- as usual -- you blow me away!!!

Lucy -- if I grew anything besides TB's -- I'd be knockin' on your door! Your Irises are beautiful.

Oh -- and Tom -- if I spirited away your golden blossom shown in the last photo, would you notice?

Short people like short irises.

Yes, I'd notice! lol, she's in foal to the stallion on my avitar. First test breeding. She has a full sister in Maryland, Iowa, two in Wisconsin, and a half brother in Missouri.

I agree, Brad's Pictures do blow you away. The iris vendors should hire him to do their photography.

Agreed, Tom (about the Iris pics). I'll be looking forward to foal pictures in the Spring.............

Wouldn't know about that Lucy -- I'm on the tall side...........

yes & I have lost 2 1/2". However I don't bend over very well.

Thanks Tom they wouldn't need to pay much we work for plants I am planning on going back to California in April for bloom season will hopefully get to spend some time taking pictures can't wait to see the new ones and seedlings, but I think who they should really talk to is Betty her pictures are the best !!! Every spring I look forward to seeing what she has added to the garden and blooming in April always awesome pictures.

I've lost about an inch myself, Lucy -- used to be almost 5'8". Now I'm less.

Can still bend down pretty well though -- I did Yoga for quite awhile and it makes a difference. I'd like to get back to that (Yoga) -- it's in my plans.

Brad -- "we work for plants"!!! Yeah boy, don't we though? One way or another!!!

I am down to 5'1". One Dr. office I lose another half inch, so my other Dr. I gain it back. Love that office.

Yes Betty takes some great pictures for sure, and she always has the most recent irises.

Oh Lucy!!!

Only have four yellows: one is a Siberian, and all are NOIDs, but I like them.




This one has an almost citrus scent.




This one was here when I bought the house and I now have it planted EVERYWHERE.

It looks so pretty next to the dark blues, Debra!!!

Beautiful garden shots, everyone! But unfortunately, there will be no more pictures of the most recent irises from me, as I've now moved on to daylilies and am hybridizing. And I'm sorry to say that I had to dig up most of my irises because I need the space for my seedlings -- and it's been really difficult to make choices as to what I will keep and what I'm giving away. But the folks in one of our local retirement communities and my neighbors are thrilled, because they're getting some really marvelous irises!

Good morning, I very much enjoy iris! Now that I am downsized into a condo in Memphis I could not give them up so I planted large pots with my favorite noid yellow and Queens Circle and they are on the patio now.
Here is the noid yellow, enjoy.




Bert

Nice.

Betty, we will all miss those great pictures of your irises, but I'm sure we will also injoy the pictures of the day lilies. I'm sure you will have some room for a few iris anyway!

A couple more of my NOIDs, I think one is Joyce Terry, and the other First Interstate, at least those are the test plants I'm growing for comparison...Arlyn
