It's very pretty, but it wouldn't go at the top of my list, Leslie -- there are others I much prefer. What do you think?

I think there are way too many I like. Really need to take time to narrow down the ones I really want. I will need to review all the ones we agree on. That should narrow our list to about 100.

Brad, that Ghio seedling is stunning! I absolutely love the beards too!

I like the bright clear colors on First Avenue. Some of the yellow/blue bi-colors are kind of dusty or muddy looking.

That Tom Johnson seedling is amazing! Do they tell you who the parents are? How cool! makes me drool!

The Tom Johnson seedling is a *I Must Have It* Iris. Please -- let me know when that one has a name?

Tom sorry no parentage on the seedling above just a number and it looked to be a newer seedling one to definitely look forward too.

Tonight's favorite is another from Mid America it was new dark red plicata, Just what I'm looking for

the colors were awesome and I think it was being lined out so maybe soon it will get a name this one should be popular we need more Plicata's.

That's a great color, Tom. I lost Rusty Magnificence last year and in doing so lost one of a few nice rust/orange ones in my garden. I added some in the summer that are warmer tones but I need to go over my haves list to see if I need to add some more dramatic warm tones.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
