All really nice! Tango Amego is such a fast grower, that if you don't watch out it will be building rhizomes on top of one another. Needs frequent re-planting. You were right when you said Juke Box Hero is much better then it's pictures. Something about it one just can't capture in a photo. But in real life it will blow you away.
Big Boss is really nice, and looks good next to Nordica.

If you forced to to choose only three, it would have to be world of color, high master, and accessible.

Debra -- you will never be sorry. I've only had one white for years. Nordica was my pick -- and I've loved every minute of having it. Just last year I was given Immortality -- so now I have two white Irises -- just like you (almost)!!

Lovely, lovely, Mary Ann and one in particular inspired a new small theme for my list: have Ride the Waves coming, should get Ride the Tiger and Ride the Wind to plant with it. All the colors would blend beautifully. I really like Suave and Sultry Mood, too. Thumbs up More photos maybe? Whistling

Yes -- but later. I haven't uploaded the pictures that I took this morning. Oh -- but I do have a couple of clump shots to share. That sounds like a great idea for an Iris bed, Debra. As new Irises are debuted with the name *Ride The __________________* -- you could add them!!
