Another gorgeous group of irises Brad! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! So many beauties that i don't know where to start!

I believe the 9th iris is mis-labeled. I think it is Georgio, not Gio Gio.

Ready For My Close Up is on my absolutely must have list...although I don't know if I will be able to afford it this year, I may have to wait for the price to go down.

I added I Must Have It, Dare Me and Georgio this year.
I really like Fred and Ginger, I hadn't noticed that one before. The same is true for Out Of The Dark.
I have Wicked Good, All My Dreams and Beauty Becomes Her on my waaaay too long wishlist. I don't know which ones will make the cut.

So many beautiful irises!!! nodding nodding It's great to know your favorites because you have seen them in person. Thanks for sharing! Thank You! I tip my hat to you. Hurray!

'I Must Have It' is an intriguing blend of colors, and I love the 2nd pic of it with neighboring blooms of reverse coloration.

Oh how I love that I Must Have It. And I did have it, for a brief period of time -- but it did not survive last winter's freezing/thawing patterns, or the spring's ongoing rain. So -- it's back on my *I Must Have It* list of Irises that must be mine.

I did get Dare Me as a bonus Iris this year -- and I am hoping for a bloom this spring!! Ready for My Closeup will also go on my I Must Have It list.

Leslie -- are you interested in either one of these?

Mary Ann - I really really want Dare Me (love the white veining on the falls). Ready for My Closeup is second, and I Must Have It is third. Meaning if any or all end up in my garden I will be quite happy!

That is such an interesting one. I used it with a cross, and have 5 seedlings from it in my seedling bed. I hope some of them bloom next spring.
