There are also a few PCI's of his scattered about in the garden. 'San Lorenzo Valley' is the only one with a name firmly attached.


I'll have to put the hula hoop down to go through my wish list and sort out the Ghios on that that I want..

Rob, looks like the first stop with the 18 wheeler will be Ghio's garden!
Seems like many of you have a bunch his irises too!

More than 10% of my total Iris collection is Joe Ghio's Irises!!

Tom here are a couple to look forward too for 2015 that Joe mentioned in the MBIS newsletter. They will be must haves for me this year !! They both really glow in the sunlight looking forward to his catalog so I can read the pedigrees and see what else gets a name. I thought his 2014 intro's were Outstanding every one of them was gorgeous with Bubble Ruffles.

I reeeeeellly like the first one, and I reeeeeeeeellllly like the one in the background of the last photograph.

Debra I do too beautiful Red but it blooms really heavy there and I think it is taking a while to built up stock in that one but when I first saw it maybe one day

Hope so.

I'm back from shopping at Ghio's...




Nice Brad! Well, there's a few more that will be added to my Ghio wish list.




(The above photo is not mine...)

Oh my!!! Now THAT'S a shopping trip!!

Some really great ones coming down the pike! Love that pink one, and Heck, I love them all!
