Nice ones, going to have to get camera ready!

You are welcome, Marilyn. And for anyone that lives in more humid (than dry arid where the aril and arilbred Iris originate), this is top of list as suggestion to try if you ever thought you wanted to grow an Arilbred.

California Boy is really pretty too, I meant to add it to my wish list. The database picture doesn't do it justice.

I'll go sweet talk (yell Whistling )my irises into growing faster so I can send you some. Green Grin!

I Don't know why I don't have Absolute Treasure. Guess I should do something about it!

Same with me Tom...I meant to get it, I guess it didn't make the cut again. I'll have to take care of that next year. Sticking tongue out

How did I miss Fancy Sparkler? I love the color! Southern Exposure - a yellow and white Sdb is another that would really brighten up the garden. I also had listed Chocolate Swirl - another great color- but missed it. I like Buttonwood too. So I guess I didn't do a very thorough job going over my list and checking the database and Facebook page on the Sdbs! *Blush*

Lucy, are you saying White Hot does especially well in your colder area or does it have problems in the heat? It was highly recommended and since they hybridized it very close to where I live I'm thinking it should be fine...but I am a little confused about what you meant. Confused

Does well in our climate. Not too much heat during our summers & it has finished blooming by then.

Some of the ones you guys mentioned above looked Outstanding this year in there gardens and in year's past at home it is easy to see why they are award winners they have everything we want in a plant strong growth, good form, high bud counts, beautiful colors and something that stands out in your garden.

The list is what has been added this year, but NOT his intros. He sent as a PDF, and it's not copying w/ out jamming all the words together. I don't think I can I post a PDf? I don't see a link or mention ontheir FB page. Be happy to send it to anyone interested. I'll probably need to send through regular email, unless there's a way to add a PDF.

I really need to pare my list down to Superstition...
