I don't know if Rob was at the same one you were at or not. But I'm guessing there wouldn't be two sales in the state at the same time, although it's a big state! I know he dug a bunch of irses to take to the sale.

Some intriguing titles there Sherry! Must go look them up.

Going to look up Rob's list on Cubits (whatever that is. Can't seem to find it.)

The 'plan' for the coming year is to focus on shorters ones that rebloom. Avoiding looking up any Tall Beardeds so I am not tempted - unless I HAVE to look it up because the name is just too intriguing or too fun. Big Grin Will see how long the plan stays together... Hilarious!

yes, next year. I went to a site last night and they are closed for this year too. that always makes me feel sad. It's like it's really over for the year.... The window for buying irises is so narrow its not a wonder we make lists all year. I think you can order form Gilbert H Wilde anytime and get the ones he has potted. I have gotten some and the pots are really small but the irises are growing and you do not have to do anything but pop them out of the pot and into the ground. They do not have enough dwarfs and I try so hard not to fall in love with a big iris. Saying that I just got
Canned Heat - a replacement
crackling Caldera
Dream Team
Dural Snowflake
Fortunate Son - always been on my wish list but pushed back by others
Grandma's Lace
Leaps And Bounds - another from a long standing wish list
Louisa's Song
Mad World
Mango Passion - pale orange
Matt McNames - another just to clean up a wish list
Rosy Forecast - saw this at the iris show and it was love at first site.
Hush Hour
Scatterbrain - another to take off the wish list
and Solomon's Seal - Beautiful and could not resist.

How's that for a person who is trying not to get any more TB's than really, really pretty ones.

My head's awhirl - just discovered Cubits - thanks to Arlyn - and saw some fabulous photos by Marilyn ( have to go back and see what her other name is)! A great photographer! So much so that I've started a new list. In fact, I have a list of lists!

Jan, one of my iris chores overwinter will be to combine iris wish lists, to cruise the websites and find how I can order from less sources and still fill my iris dreams. Right now I have a big binder, notebooks, notepads.... and takalong tablets for when I visit iris gardens. If I had all the irises I wanted I would not have a driveway..... hmmm.....

Bonnie, Driveways are over rated! Rolling on the floor laughing I just got Solomon's Seal this summer at our state sale. I got two rhizomes, so by next year I may have one to share if they do well. I also have Louisa's Song, and I might be able to share one of those too. So put my name next to them on your list and check with me before you buy!

Nice additions to your garden Sherry and Bonnie! Thumbs up

I'll need to look some them up later, when I have more time... but I do recognize the names of some beauties.

Tom, I don't think you want me putting your name next to everything on my want list. I would need to rent a cargo plane. Rolling on the floor laughing

Oh Tom, you are sooo generous. The above list are ones I have just received so I will not be begging for one of those. Thank you.

Leslie, this is where I go. If you can't there with this address someone else will have a better one. LOL
