OK, I KNOW I will need a fix in the morning, so I hope we get some more pics for me to look at in the pink to red range!

Oh how I love Beverly Sills. Here's mine:

Ball Room is especially beautiful.................

My wife ordered Beverly Sills for me the year it was introduced but it was sold out so I got it the following year. It is one of the older ones which I still grow. Pink Bubbles, a BB sib, was very nice also. We saw Soprano Beverly Sills at the Salt Lake Tabernacle a few years before she retired. It was wonderful....a nice memory.

That must have been a real treat, Paul.

Beverly Sills holds her own among some of the newer ones, that's for sure. I thinned Ball Room last year, but might still be able to find an extra rhizome for you Mary Ann.

Oh Man! I really need a good iris fix this morning. Overcast and windy day.

Well -- you're gonna be sending me a couple of others Tom -- might as well toss in a Ball Room, if you have enough.

I'm sure there will be more!

Beverly Sills is still my favorite pink, and maybe my favorite iris overall. I have transplanted a piece of it every time I have changed homes, and have given away pieces to probably 20 different people. The namesake is a favorite too!
Paul and Brad, you are costing me money! I have to ask, where do you get so many of these newer ones?
Crossing my fingers here, hope it doesn't hail this year and I can get good pics and post them. I have more pink iris than anything else, and I can't get enough of them. Inside the house, I have silk pink iris, and my pictures on the wall are either pink iris or pink roses.
Just looking at the gorgeous pictures in this thread makes me so eager for spring! The big iris convention with garden tours starts this weekend just 6 hours south of me.....I would sure love to go on those bus tours.
But "touring" on this thread is so pleasant! Thank you!

Cindi, we will be watching for your pictures!
