How about some of those seedlings! I can see I'll never run out of new interesting ones to buy!

Oh, no, I have to make more room for irises!!! I went to the site Debra. He has created some unbelievable beauties. And some of his SDB's have beards that are SUPER beards. I love them. If I ever visited their site you would definitely hear about it.... on the news... 'funny old lady living in iris garden, owners cannot entice her to leave..... National Guard has been called in but they have not caught her so far'......

Too funny Bonnie! You know some of those seedlings are his, and some are Paul Black's, and there are some of Berry Blyths on there too.

Both are over the top choices. I did look at one or two of the TB's closely to see who hybridized - I REALLY WANT THEM - and then I got to the SDB's and began to hyperventilate.......

They really should come with their own health hazard warning, like "Open at your own risk, not for the faint of heart"!

Is there a list in AIS of all the iris Tom Johnson has ever introduced ? Can someone put a link to it on this thread?
I'm bad, I have my list in the computer but I don't have any hybridizers listed (another winter project?).
I do know Daring Deception will be on my order list for next year! It's georgous!
Brad, it's nice to be able to put a face with your name when I see all your beautiful pictures.

Yes, It's easy Barbara. Go to the data base, click on Irises in the Box on the right that says, "visit our custom data bases" . Then click on "Search by characteristics (height, bloom color, etc)". There will be a list of characteristics to check, in the box that says "Hybridizer" type in Thomas Johnson, and then go farther down and if you only want just TB's click on that box, if you want all of them, don't select anything there, but go to the bottom of the page and click the Search button, and you will get a list of all of his irises. Have fun!
