Wow, love the pics on this thread. I can say that iris have sure gotten a lot fancier in the last few years!!

They look like a little girls pinafore to me. So frilly and gorgeous!

Probably passed you by and got me instead Mary Ann, LOL. I loved that when I first looked at the pic, watercolor paintings came to mind, and then I saw the name 'Watercolor Print'.

How many is Tom Johnson introducing this year, I think I counted 15 recently uploaded on facebook the other day. He's prolific, and they are all amazing!

Yes, the bloom stalks vanish before they bloom and the irises wont grow. Then you also have to worry about the constant swarms of gophers and the never ending waves of borers.

The Tom Johnson's I have added this year are:
Toronto
Call Me Maybe
Crowned in Glory
Dance Til Dawn
Discovered Treasure
Don't Stop Believing
Bridal Icing
Ebony Angel
Fashion Diva
Formal Event
Saturn
Scandanavian Gal
Broken Heart (struggling and small - may not make it!)

I am coveting Daring Deception and Insaniac for sure. You all have some great ones! I thought I had more but lots of them are Black instead of Tom Johnson. I hope they all grow and bloom for me this year!

And you have to listen to all the people asking questions about why your irises are grey, why they won't bloom, and why they all smell like Cow Patties or worse!
