Good for you, Neal. I bet they all would love your garden also.

Mary Ann, I'm only about 20 minutes from Lexington

Ah. I thought you were pretty close. Lucky you to be able to participate in the BGIS activities!!

VELVET VALENTINE

(Tasco 2015) TB, 35", early-mid-late bloom season, a long bloom season. Parentage is Bowled Over X Bon Appetit. A large flower on a modified candelabra branched stalk with 7 or more buds.

Picture soon!

And the picture is a beauty, good bud count too it looks like!

I really like this on! WOW!

Velvet Valentine

*Swooning and drooling!* ...pink, big, ruffly....of course I love it

Neal-It looks like the flower is on the larger size and it is a E-M-L too!

This is the one! If ever I was going to buy a new intro...well I'll have to ask what the price is, but I really love this one. The description says it's a large flower...and with the long bloom season...amazing! Rick has outdone himself on this one!

I think any iris that can extend itself over the "whole" bloom season is a winner. Then add to that it's large form and bright colors. You just can't go wrong!

It's like getting 3 for the price of 1 when you think of it that way! Hehehehe...how's that for enabling?!

...and just think of the bonuses that will come with it! (No rationalizing going on here! It's just logical! )

Right Marilyn! It's downright cheap when you think of it that way!

Heh, heh, heh....I think so too Neal!!!

I have gotten new intros from them as bonuses even when I didn't order any new intros, so just think what you'd get if you ordered a new intro from them! Go ahead, order it, you know you want to. Lifes too short to go without the ones you love! (little devel icon here)
It's a lot like Arrivederci that I got from Keppel last year.

I need that one!

Misawa77 said:You can't wait the 14 to 21 days for them to reveal their introductions? Oh, it is a sad day then.

Just go through your pictures post that wonderment that you do and in no time the truth will be revealed

Really Misawa77 take a pill and relax. This isn't like a cure for cancer!

I may just do that Tom! There you go again...doing that enabling thing that you do.

Leslie, if it's any consolation... I've been a member of our society for a few years. I've had pleasant conversations with our president. She doesn't answer my emails either...

Neal, I think we'll need to have some virtual smelling salts here if you're going to be swooning..

Just so you'all know... I'm having trouble keeping up with the number of threads and posts.. If you have something to ask me , Tree-mail me, because I'm missing a lot of stuff going by... Wah! So, that said, Marilyn, I just found your post from several days ago asking about a trip to Joe's. I'd be happy to arrange that and maybe a couple of other gardens, or wholesale nurseries, if you were interested.

Or put @Henhouse in the post (no space between the @ and the member ID). That way she won't have to keep up with separate treemails.
