Irisarian, How nice that you met my grandmother. That must have been a long time ago. Do you happen to have one of her catalogs or have any idea how I might be able to get one?

Welcome, Gerie and good luck with your search.

These eBay sellers had completed listings.

patricia9023 has Witch of Endor

yodad50 has My Friend Jonathan, Witch of Endor, Sheba's Queen, Radiant Angel and Sarah's Laughter

If any of those are among the missing, there ya go.

C and T Iris Patch has lots of them and Nola's has some too.

Hi Gerie. I can't help you with your search, but I wanted to welcome you to our group. And I wanted to compliment the lovely dapple grey in your atavar!! We actually have quite a few horse people here -- somehow beautiful horses and beautiful Irises strike a similar chord in some of us.

I wish you success in your search for your Grandmother's Irises.

Afraid that we don't have a catalog. she encouraged us on reblooming SDBs, but we stopped that because of weather issues.

Muddymits, Thank you for the compliment on my horse, Jasper. I'm just a backyard horse enthusiast who does occasional trail riding. I've had Jasper for about a year. He is "full-of-it" and keeps me entertained. It's nice to know there are so many others out there that just can't seem to keep clean between their plants and animals. I love your user name, "Muddymits". I know what you mean!

What *brand* of horse is he, Gerie? He must be fairly young to have such dark dappling. Mine are American Saddlebreds and American Warmbloods (ASB/Warmblood cross). Tom breeds and raises paints. Pam has horses and works at a Dressage barn. Lucy used to have horses. Who am I forgetting?

Thanks for the compliment on my user name -- it's totally appropriate, I assure you!!!

I used to have horses too!

Welcome to the group Gerie! Good luck with your collection. I do not have any that were developed by your Grandmother, but I will keep an eye out for any that can be added to your list.

Horses and iris are a good combination!

Yup, I have 22 horses (today's count) I used to have over 40. But, I also have Turkeys, Ducks, dogs, cats, and my world famous weeding chickens!

Unionized, sunglasses wearing (rose coloured) chickens! The best of the best.

I never had the opportunity to own horses...but would have loved to. I did, however, have 2 llamas! But have passed on since then, and their pasture is now becoming my iris field!

Marilyn, I think you need to plant this iris in that field.

Yep, she should.

Oh there you are Debra! Thought you got flooded out with the storm! Glad you're back.

Been out lopping branchlets off the big ones that dropped in the front yard and stacking them at the curb. House is fine.

Since that is my picture of Llama Mama, I guess I should trade that one to you!.

I soooooo envy you all with lots of land to expand your collection. That means more weeding, but that is a trade off I would except.

I second what Greg said!

Muddymitts, Jasper is not registered. He is probably a quarter horse. He's built like one and acts like one. His previous owners said he was a quarter horse and that he was almost black when he was younger. He's small, about 14.5 hands. If I was told the truth, he's about 6 now, and acts it. "Teenage" boy to the max!

I also have a Standardbred. His name is Silver. I'm actually trying to find a good home for him. He is an awesome horse, and I like him a lot, but I have a total of 3 and it's really more than I can handle. Jasper is my horse, Silver is my husband's. My husband prefers to ride Kira, our older Friesian ministry horse that we use for kids and inexperienced riders. I take care of all of them, including hoof trims. I would like to reduce my work load.

Here's a link to Silvers Craigslist advertisement. https://shoals.craigslist.org/... Most folks here are interested in gaited horses or quarter horses. Let me know if you have any tips for finding a good home where he will be well cared for and used.

tveguy,

I know what you mean about loosing counts. I have a 22 acre hobby farm. I think I have 27 critters right now counting horses, cows, chickens, a cat and dog. Do boys count as critters?
