Keith's catalog is usually the first one to arrive at the end of January.

How do you get on the mailing list?

You have to contact him and request one. I think there's a small charge if I remember.

On his website it says the catalog costs $2.

Tom & Rob - Thanks!

I emailed Keith to see if I could get a catalog and ask if he prefers a check...but when he heard how many of his irises I have he said he would not charge for it! ($2.00 can help pay for another iris...maybe not a new one, but and older beauty!)

Always help a good customer. Keith is like that, a really nice person.

G' is really unusual.

Ok Lucy...I'm stumped...what do you mean by "G' is really unusual"?

The seedling which number ends in G.

Oh...got it!

My power has been out all day... Gosh, a lot to catch up on...

I agree Brad.. More orange! I was kind of bummed a few years back when I got 'Edgefield Glow' as a bonus with an order... But it really does stand out in the garden. And the beard on that first picture is to die for!!

I have been looking at pictures the past couple hours trying to figure out which ones to share tonight but having a difficult time choosing Kieth has so many fun new colors and patterns it is hard to decide which individual ones I like the best but as I am going through them, I keep going back to his Plicata's they are just wonderful and there really is nothing else like them in these color patterns that I saw anywhere most are going to be impossible to describe we will need some assistance from Bonnie for this.

My guess is most of these will never be for sale they are still a work in progress but thought it would be fun to show the colors that are coming from his Plicata work I remember in one of the previous years catalogs he talked about Plicata crosses being some of the most rewarding from these you can see why WOW !!














More to come

Those are so beautiful, it's hard to believe they're works of progress, Brad. Thanks for sharing with us!

Those are amazing!!! There are 4 I would jump at the chance to buy and several others I like a lot!

Are you planning to go the the convention in April and shoot photos of all the gorgeous flowers in the demonstration gardens?

They are all beautiful!

What a tease!

Funny Brad. Actually the irises describe themselves. When I think of a plicata I do not envision anything like these. This hybridizer, of a flower that was named for the colors of the rainbow, has taken the iris flower Far Beyond the Rainbow.

I have heard iris collectors, who are accustomed to white grounded blue stitched plicatas, say they do not like plics......... any of these would change their minds forever!!!

As you pointed out, some, or many, of these may/will never be for sale...... It will be for other reasons than the unique beauty of their blooms. Thank you for posting photos of these we may otherwise never have seen. smiles

I sure like that bunch Brad! I'd be hard pressed to eliminate any of them.

They're all wonderful. My pick would be the yellow, top right. The one below it is a knock-out too!!

I am of the same mind Mary Ann. Loved the bright yellow, but the one below it - when you open the pic up larger, is so beautiful. The deep burgandy over the pale orange is lovely.
