actually I guess I want every little guy of theirs that I don't have. I love their reds from red bunny to Velvet Elvis (one of Ginny's and with a gold beard it sets the red off) and I need a few spiders, spiderbaby, spiderlady ..... Just seems silly to list them all.

And of course I need to add...
Bonnie's Bluebird to my garden.

Every time I look at the Winterberry wish list I change my mind on what to order first. lol

Wish List:

Cookie Monster


Flo


Giggler


Grape Harvest


Uncle Charlie

Have you noticed the photos that Sue is adding to the database? Makes you want to reach out and touch them. Oh, I want, I want, I want.......

I just ordered from Spoon this last year and he sent me several bonus plants! This is what I have so far from his endeavors. I'm hoping all the bonus plants will bloom this next spring.

Cheshire Cat 1996
Daughter of Stars 2000
Lilla Alberta 1995
Lion Chief 1998
Maybe 2004
Sky and Sun 1999
Uncle Charlie 1999
Yosemite Sam 1999

I have to add Velvet Elvis too, forgot to put that one on the list. Love that little guy too!

Sky and Sun is a beauty, Susan. I got mine last summer from an ATP member and I cant wait to see it bloom. My Daughter of Stars multiplied a bit so I had a hard time in finding extra space to plant it even after I had shared with four different gardeners. I took the last two little clumps and planted them on the north side of the house. They never get any sun there... none at all. It was just a holding place for them and yet they bloomed and re-bloomed like crazy. I sure enjoyed sitting next to the window early in the morning to watch the new buds opening. Gorgeous iris. I don't grow Uncle Charlie but a gardening friend does. It is a medal winner and well deserves that honor!

I don't have too many of their creations.

I started out with "Uncle Charlie" in 2008, the first year I bought iris and it was one of 9. It has been a fantastic grower and real beauty; especially close up.

Bonnie: You have Tropical Shoals. Is it really as light blue as pictured? I am really considering that one.

Haves:

Orchid Dove
Raspberry Silk
Teagan

Most Wanted:

Dan Laing
Velvet Elvis (Ginny)
Tropical Shoals
Marilyn Naylor
Sari's Dance (Ginny)

Soooo many others after that.

I know, sooooo many beauties! I just got Tropical Shoals this summer but I have seen it in a garden in south AR and yes it is a light blue that leans to turquoise in color. If it blooms this spring, should I say when it blooms this spring, I will take photos and let you know its color in my garden. I got Teagan, Tropical Shoals, Miss Meredith and Blues Clues to see if I could introduce some turquoise blooms in my garden. I was sent Rich Blanquet as a bonus and I think it is also in this color range. Once Winterberry knows what you are looking for they will discuss the irises that may fit your wishes and bonuses will be in that category also.

The problem for me is that they are creating sooooo many more beauties every year! and I cant have them all!

Good to know that it is running true to color. I really think I will get Tropical Shoals this year, while everyone else is buying up Karen Jones (that other turquoise beauty!).

Between Stout's and Winterberry I may go broke this year.

And don't forget Sutton Iris Garden. In the past few years they relocated to Idaho, lost both parents and have tried to get their business up and running again. They are hybridizers and we need to support them. They are great to work with and work with you on a personal basis. and they make some great irises too. Keep them in mind. Their site does not reflect nearly the irises they have but it gets better every year now. I had seen one he had for sale in years past, Golden Apricot, and it was no longer on his web site. I emailed him to see if he still had it. he did and sent it to me and did not charge me for doing so. I will shop Winterberry and Sutton this year.

I only have 3 Spoon irises...but after seeing all your listings I'm going to have to do something about that. What I have:

Daughter Of Stars 2001
Diamond Blush 1998
Oriental Design 1997

What I know I want:

Sky and Sun
Uncle Charlie
Monet’s Sky
Freda’s Gift
Karen Jones
Rosalie Loving
Winterberry
Kick Up Your Skirt

and...when I get time to look up the Spoon irises on your lists above I'm sure I'll be adding a few more!

Leslie, I used to have a horse named Sari, but I sold her. Otherwise I would be tempted to get Sari's Dance. I'm fighting to keep my wish list short as I know I'll want to go crazy once the new introductions are made.

Bonnie - I planted 2 Snow Peas this past summers, and will have to see how they do in the spring. The little guys are looking
good now. Will keep you in mind!

Thank you, Jan. Please do. I feel rich being on other peoples trade lists. LOL

Just noticed Leslie's pic of Orchid Dove. Dreamy colors. Want! On my list!

I have problems as to hybridizers as I keep order lists by category, not hybridizer. We mainly grow Spoon's medians like all other hybridizers.

I realize I forgot two, both that I can't wait to see bloom in my garden next spring:
Sky and Sun
Silent Wings

How did I forget those? They glared at me for such an error while I worked in the garden this afternoon.
