Oh that's another gorgeous one!!! That's an unusual color combination. I love the warm colors and that great orange beard really sets them off! Maybe they will see this and send along the information on it too! Inquiring minds want to know! nodding

Ok...since we're not talking about the little guys...right Rob? Here's my 'Santa Please Bring Me This Iris" wish for the day. It's called Orange Obsession, introduced by Paul Black in 2014. Here's the link: http://www.beardedirisflowers....

Marilyn, I got Orange Obsession last summer for my Doggie memorial bed. Since she was a miniature Schnauzer, I got a cluster of different small ones in front of the grave marker. That one struck my fancy right away.

Chippewa Brave is already on the "reservation, Marilyn, but thanks for thinking of me !

Sounds like everyone is making some pretty nice "lists" for next years' ordering ! I keep telling myself that I'm "cutting way back" on new orders......but I seldom listen Sticking tongue out

The 2015 sample ballot is in the AIS newsletter that was just sent out.....lots of nice iris on the ballot, and, I even grow a few of them ! I usually have to go back to about 1956 to find any lists that include very many that are in my garden Rolling on the floor laughing

Rick and Roger passed along the information on the gorgeous orange Superstition seedling that Brad posted yesterday. It was lined out for 2015, but they did not make a decision on it....so maybe next year? The parentage is Amber Essence X Drinks At Sunset. For those of you who are close enough if you want to join us in visiting Superstition Gardens during next year's bloom, we have been invited to take a look at it and tell them what we think!

Pam, your link led to Blyth's Dragon Dance. Is that the one you meant? Beautiful coloration.

That is one that fascinates me...but I'd really like to see it in person or hear from someone who grows it. Sometimes photos can be deceptive with some of the more unusual colors.

Hi Rick & Roger. I am here also. Have more time to view people in the winter? Since it is gloomy now seing iris photos helps with cheer.

W bought 'Orange Obsession' last spring & hope tht it likes us.
