One of Blyth's that is new on my wish list is Colour Bazaar. The first time I saw it, I wasn't too impressed, but it's been calling my name lately. Don't know if it's just the winter withdrawal or if I am liking it more. We'll have to see if I still like it come spring. Here's one of Brad's pictures.

I'm sitting here enjoying a lovely rainstorm and decided to separate out my 2014 Blyth acquisitions and provide some more eye candy. Most of these will be familiar since they are somewhat older...but still nice to look at! Enjoy! Big Grin

This is BAD! I have yet to order my "Rob: Special duty drool bib" and you are stressing me to no end. I MUST ORDER NOW!

I liked this group Marilyn; especially:

Glamazon
Hysteria
Tango Amigo
Ginger Ice

In that order!

I hope the bib is one of those with an upturned 'cup' to catch the drool. Rumor has it Rob is taking collections to water his irises! Rolling on the floor laughing

I liked Palace Symphony. It looks like a large blossom. Are there some really large-blossomed irises out there?

For a while they seemed to be trying to get bigger and bigger blooms, and some of them didn't hold up, so now they seem to be trying for nicer form that holds together. At least it seemed to me. Smiling

I may have to try Big Boss.

"For a while they seemed to be trying to get bigger and bigger blooms, and some of them didn't hold up," Tom said.

Holding up would be important.

Looks like a pretty blue, Mary Ann... Wondering if there are some large-blossomed Blyths?

I think Supreme Sultan is an older large bloomed iris:


Here are some others that I have listed as having large blooms...But the only two I have seen in bloom are Figure Head and Poem Of Ecstasy:

Standing Proud


Dodger Blue


Fashion Diva


Figure Head


Poem Of Ecstasy
