Woops, Haunted Heart is a Keppel iris. Smiling

I don't think it's a Senior Moment Greg, I think it's that darn tryptophan in the turkey! Rolling on the floor laughing

You are right Tom...I keep trying to attribute it to Barry. Actually I thought I had corrected it in my database...guess I'll have to check again! Sticking tongue out

Yes, let's blame everything on the tryptophan in the turkey!!! I have a lot of things that that could explain! Rolling on the floor laughing

Yes, Tom. Haunted Heart is a Keppel iris. I saw it on someone else's list here and knew I had it.

These lists are good teaching exercises!

We celebrated TG today with my family. I'm stuffed! I keep looking at the Tempo 2 catalog and am trying to figure out which ones I want. If I knew which ones Keppel will be having in his catalog I'd order them from him, but not sure what he'll have. I hope Brad gets over eating turkey soon and gets some of those seedling pictures on here so I can see what's out there. (Hint Hint Hint)! Whistling

yep, that Matters of the Heart is a beauty! Like Mary Ann said, so many irises, so little time, money, space, energy.....

Going to be a test of patience for me next Spring when they start to bloom. Think they should have two bloom cycles before deciding if they stay or are rehomed to make sure I'm seeing the true flower, right? Dunno how well I will be able to do that and still have room for new ones. The perimeter of the back yard is free, but the poor dogs have a small space for running around as it is! Hilarious!

Pam, I am smitten with Ask A Lady. I don't think I've noticed that one before. It just had to go on the list! Hilarious!

and Tom...Matters of the Heart is one I had forgotten, I had put it on the wish list before, I love the pattern on it!
