We all have lists of irises we want to have. I have lists of my lists. But when I think about the iris I'd like to have the very most, it is a Blyth Seedling - (I think the # is V1591). I saw it on Facebook. What's your #1?

Jan, if I HAD to decide on ONLY ONE..... I would have to breath into a paper bag! I have a top twenty and when I look at them I love them best for different reasons..... yes, best. I will enjoy watching what others choose.

Oh Jan that seedling is gorgeous!!! But how does one choose a single iris they want most? I'll have to think on that for a bit!

Oh Jan, that is a beauty!

It's impossible for me to narrow it down to one.

My most wanted is one of Kent's seedlings.

Beautiful choice, Debra!

My most wanted would be:

Patchwork Puzzle

Not possible! Way too many to choose just one!

Yes, Patchwork Puzzle is my #2, Greg - and probably should be my #1 because it is accessible, since it's been introduced! (Maybe seedlings shouldn't count? Will we ever have a chance to buy it?)

Please post a picture of your favorite.
That seedling of Kent's is gorgeous!

Let's not get tooooo serious about this. It's a game. Which one makes you catch your breath? The most? Today. Post a picture of it.

Patchwork Puzzle:

Imagine that Santa said you could pick just one new iris for your Christmas present. Out of all the ones you're
salivating over.

Ok, I'll bite, if it's just for today I can deal with that...

My most wanted (at least for today) is Duplication



It is a luminata, with a pronounced sweet fragrance and is a re-bloomer!!!

I would want to pick one from the 2015 intros of Keppel, Ghio, Blyth, Black or T. Johnson. I haven't seen them yet. Years ago my sweet Wife ordered Beverly Sills for me for Christmas one year.

Well, the first dozen, or so on my list are impossible to add pictures of, as, as far as I know...there aren't any! That brings me to this one:

Zuni (Ayers 1931)
very, very similar to "Indian Chief", another Ayers introduction.
But, I really suppose you're thinking of more "modern" irises, so, Zuni Echo (Blyth 1986), a BB, is up pretty far on my list. it "sounds" very nice (haven't seen a picture of that one ,either !).
But that one's getting a little "long in the tooth", also, I guess! So , sticking with the "Zuni" theme, there's an SDB from 2012, Zuni Thundercloud, that's up towards the top of the list, as well.

Just for today and one that is commercially available?

Lemon Lunar Lander

One? One Iris? Only ONE Iris? Awh -- not possible -- just not...... (walking away shaking head and mumbling)..................

I have Duplication on one of my lists,too, Marilyn. Such great form. But I didn't know that it's a re-bloomer. Moving up my list for sure!

Just one for today, Mary Ann. Or even for this hour.

Oh yes! Lemon Lunar Lander is a great one! ...can't wait for tomorrow, I already have an idea for one!

So we get to have a favorite each day and it can change???? Cool
Today's fav. is:

Super Hero

Woops, I miss understood, we're supposed to choose one that we don't have, but I have Super Hero, so I guess that doesn't count, now I have to go look at my wish list.
