I hope it does too! I hope you and/or Tom share photos of it so we can see how it's doing! I think it's going to end up very high on my wish list! Big Grin

Recently saw this 2016 Mid-America intro, not sure if it's named yet or not but it really knocked my socks off.

I vote that it gets a name but there were lots in there seedling beds that I wanted to get a name nodding so will see what happens with it, beautiful color comes from two good parents and the plants looked to be growing well and I want some of it. Sticking tongue out Here is a couple more pictures of it so you get the clump effect.

Pam good choice !!I really liked Dragon Dance very unique color and lot's of Buds the pictures of it in the database are from Santa Cruz, Salem, and here at home in Iowa so color should be consistent anywhere. It is fertile I have seedlings from it growing I am hoping it passes along some of its good traits and beards it is Recommended for something different colored in the garden.

My favorite for today is this one from Napa Gardens it was awesome !! What do you guys think of this one wouldn't it be gorgeous in a clump. It comes from Picture Book which is one of my favorite pinks at home in the garden and from what I saw it looks to be a good parent.

Oh, that seedling from Napa gardens is gorgeous! Can't wait to see it come out...they wouldn't dare not introduce anything so stunning would they?

Based on your recommendation on the colors and fertility, and the added bonus of the pronounced sweet fragrance (which I really like) Dragon Dance is now on the ever-growing wish list! Rolling my eyes.

I assume the photos of the top flower are more shots of the seedling from Superstition Gardens. It looks more orange, and less pink in this set of pictures. Still gorgeous, just slightly different.

All I can say is it is a good thing the Napa Gardens seedling isn't available right now--after seeing the last image, I'd seriously consider skipping the mortgage payment to get THAT one! Lovey dubby Lovey dubby ...Brad, can I borrow your choice and use it as mine, today, too? Oh, my goodness...

It will make a great clump. The bright white ruffles floating above the pink falls with the sun picking up the warmth from the beards will make it a sight to behold. Good Bloom and good clump. winner

Jan, I love the pinks! .... and the blues! ... and golds, and lavenders, and, and, and.... oh those reds! I always have one or two irises that stand out in my garden each year. I look so forward to them blooming the next year and when they do I notice that one or two others are now my favorites. I think I may be fickle.

We ordered 'Dragon Dance' for our club auction last Aug. It was snapped up right away. Bought it from Rocky Top Gardens.
