funny, Mary Ann! Some irises are just too beautiful for written descriptions.

If I ever create any irises Bonnie, I want you to help write the descriptions!! They are magical!

Bonnie has awesome descriptions !!!

Here is the favorite for the day from Santa Cruz it was a first year bloom so a long ways away but I really liked it. Joe's pinks just keep getting better and better a lot to look forward to in the future from Santa Cruz

Oh, That is gooooorgeous! Look at those ruffles!!

That is a ruffly duffly pink!

I hope there's enough of that pink amoena from Napa for all of us.

Rob, that seedling is drop-dead gorgeous!

I'd have Joe's pink w/ orange beard too...

Yum!!!

I am old enough to remember wishing for a really pink iris to be introduced. LOL Now just look at all the treasures in pink that are offered. While I sat dreaming someone was hard at work..... what will be next? I am wishing for a TB in turquoise...... Hmm......

Will have to do a lot of soil amendment wherever I make room to plant, but I do plan to try one or more Arilbreds. This morning, I want:

Mohric Butterfly

Thanks for that beautiful pink Ghio shot, Brad!

Today's Santa iris is...Plot Line.

Nice choice, Rob.

very interesting color. One has to get the amoena & the edging. I can do the first with SDBs, but not the edging.

Nice one Rob! Trying to pick between Plot line and Rum and Coke today. Maybe just ask Santa for both - cause I have been reasonably good this year!

...and then there is Superhero....which I'll pick for my Santa request today to keep the theme going and because I really like it!

That's a beauty -- that's for sure!!

My favorite for the day is another seedling from Napa a beautiful different color in a pink. One of my goals at home last year was to try to put different colored Beards on Pinks, I want a dark chocolate Beard on a Ovation Pink flower and as I was walking through there seedling beds I found this one. Zoom in on the Beard what a color impact the dark beard makes.

That's beautiful !!!!

I received Superhero this year. Looking forward to seeing it bloom.

Do like that pink'un, Brad.


Today, my Santa wish is Dorothy Parker. It is a Burseen, which is always good--and I am in a slightly ascerbic mood this morning.

(Country Delight Iris)

Omigosh -- I have GOT to have that luscious pink with the dark beard!!!!! That is perfection!!
