! I should add Innocent Star, to my list......I had a "wrong" iris bloom this year, and it was I.D. ed as Innocent Star by the vendor. I forgot about that one !

Are those the ones you want Marilyn or what you have?
I have had that Bottle Rocket' on my wish list for a while ever since seeing it at Napa Iris Gardens and it's a rebloomer.

(FYI, you can edit the link for that first one, Autumn Thunder, so that is closes and looks like the other ones to work.)

Tom... I added some his yellows and oranges My Favorite of Mike's this year was Bottle Rocket probably one of the brightest in the garden it Really stood out when I saw it at Napa this year the picture below was taken in there greenhouse they had one that was growing in a pot, needless to say that pot came home with me to Iowa Hoping the color of it is the same here at home .

I like a lot of there recent plants great new color patterns and good form and Known to rebloom in parts of the country maybe we will get lucky one year with one of them. I have been spending some time looking at the parentage of some of my wants from him and a good majority trace back into a seedling from Joe 98-3f it mixed with Connie Sue has created some Awesome plants. I found it growing at Napa it seems to be a good parent for wild patterns .

Sue, Thanks for the note on editing Autumn Thunder...I thought I had checked it...but missed that one!

Those are the ones I have...but many of them have not bloomed yet as they were all bought in 2013 and 2014. My wish list is really long ( I just counted...42! ). Maybe next time I need an excuse to sit for awhile I can post photos of those...for fun!

Brad...Once again you have the most beautiful photos!!! Now I'm really excited to see Bottle Rocket! It was pretty small when I got it this summer so I probably have another year to wait for it's bloom...but I can still hope!!

Kind of a lazy day today, so thought I'd share another one I really really like of Sutton's
Point of No Return

The color on those falls is amazing!!! Beautiful!

Oh -- that's a beauty Tom -- now there are TWO Sutton Irises I have to have!!!

I only have two:
Viper
and Peggy Anne

I really really want Edge of The World
and Point of No Return is going on my list!

Then there's Twin Cities!

Tom - you are being a marvelous enabler! Another beauty.

That's my job!

Yep, he is the Grand Cheese Head Enabler.

And of course you have to love this one too!

Rim Of Fire

Tom Rim of Fire is a good one would like to have some of it one day never can get enough good yellows.How is it growing ?

I added Twin Cities to my ridiculously long Sutton wishlist...and of course Rim Of Fire was already on it...as is Edge of the World and Peggy Anne.

One that I really like...(so it's high up on the list) is Line Drive...a sibling to Fall Line and a Re-blooming IB:

I submit to the wise choices of the Cheese Head! A very different yellow than any in my garden.

Brad, Where I have Rim of Fire, is not the best spot, I have to redo that bed and add some compost. It's doing OK, but nothing in that bed is doing as well as it should.

Oh boy -- I like Twin Cities too!!
