Dee has several beauties that now live in my garden. I cant wait to see them bloom. I did not post my list of little ones that I want as I did not wan to overload and shut down this site. I want more than I have room for.... both in my garden and budget. I have made substantial lists for a lot of different vendors but when I go to order I will get a little crazy and tack on one or two more irises from each vendor. I am like a starving kid with their nose pressed against a bakery window. I am a normal person. .........except when it comes to irises.

Bonnie your are a normal iris aholick! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
Mary Ann, But if I see one that I say to myself "I have to have that one" and it's Dec. I better write it down, or in the spring I'll forget it and miss out on it. Then the next year I'd see it again, and wonder why I didn't order that one!
Sound's like Ken has "List Denial" Go ahead, make a list, we will still like you! Hilarious!

I forgot to add Tobacco Chew. Does anyone grow Chenille? Is it named for its beard?

I got Chenille at the PNW sale...but was so small and dry it's really struggling. Tobacco Chew is on my list for next year! I love those bushy beards. That's part of why I had to replace Game Plan this year!

Chenille bloomed for me this year. It's the second summer I've had it.
