That's an interesting color and markings.

Marilyn - I am sure I can provide "Sky & Sun" and "Uncle Charlie" next Summer. My trade lists are at work. This could be very poor management on my part!

What I would want of theirs is the Iris that Brad posted -- Pixie Magic.

That's a beauty Tom! I love intermediates, they work into mixed gardens so well. I definitely want to add more of them.

I was wondering which of Spoon's irises that pink IB is...the only one I see that looks similar is Pink Collage. Is that right?

I need Sky and Sun for my "Sky Garden", it looks to be a nice, rich, saturated blue. Pink Collage has caught my attention every time I see it.

I agree Neal -- Sky and Sun is looking very good to me too! Lovey dubby

Plum Pretty Whiskers also is very appealing -- those lovely striations on the falls.

I have tried to keep from looking at their tall irises. Perhaps once I fill my wish list of the little guys I will look at the tall ones..... but by then they will have introduced more and I greatly fear my list will have grown.
