Dwarfs do great in our climate.

This is what I am looking for, and of course, the more enabling, this may change:
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Electric Candy')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Fancy Ideas')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Foreign Scandal')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Grand Canyon Sunset')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'I'm All Shook Up')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Italian Velvet')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Mad World')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Maggie Beth')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Mambo Italiano')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Mayan Mysteries')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Plot Line')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Splurge')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Style Traveller')
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Trial by Fire')

I just added some of these this year...I'd be happy to put you on a list, but it will probably be at least a year before I have enough, maybe longer if they are slow growers. The one's I'll put you down for are:

Foreign Scandal
Maggie Beth
Mambo Italiano
Plotline

...and I'll be adding Style Traveller this coming year. I already have a couple requests for that one...but if you can wait I'd be happy to share it too!

Thanks Marilyn! I will have plenty to plant, coach along, and fight the gophers for this year so I can wait.

Oops...my bad. I just re-read this. I don't know what I was thinking...except that I really wish I had Maggie Beth! It's on my wishlist too!. If I add it then I'll share. Can I use the senior moment excuse?

Sure, you'll have to share the senior moment though, I use it quite often! Looks like we have similar wish lists too.

Check my list for dwarfs - not ready this year, but maybe next. All mine except a blue NoID are new.

Yes Sue...I think they are very similar....I also have these on my wishlist:
Grand Canyon Sunset
I'm All Shook Up
Mad World
Maggie Beth
Mayan Mysteries

I guess I'll have to take a closer look at the others!

That's where I find more, in other people's wish list, it's a dangerous thing to look!

I like to live dangerously...especially when it comes to irises!!

I don't have a single one of those, Sue -- sorry...............

Mad World is a great iris. Mine has just disappeared from its bed. There was a good rhizome but not any increase. I guess it just gave up.

Thanks Bonnie, I may just have to drive over to Napa and get it eventually.
I just realized I posted mostly new ones here when the thread is for those looking for mostly older ones.

If you are looking for many older ones, and can't find a trade person, both Wild Iris Rows and Blue J Iris carry a large variety of older irises for $4.50 or less. Lots of historics at Blue J too. C & T Iris patch has lots of older SDB's too if you have some you need to catch up on.

I have many older varieties in my list. Just let me know if there are any that you would be interested in.

@Lestv, if you get any extra of these, I would love to trade you for them!
Goldkist
Owyhee Desert
Strut your Stuff

Sue : Definitely in a year on all three (Strut is new, Goldkist isn't growing very fast). But I will likely have some Owyhee Desert this year. I'll let you know in the spring about all three.

Oh dang! Wish I'd asked about Owyhee Desert..................

Mary Ann,

I'll add you to the list of those wanting Owyhee Desert. I also have Debra, Greg, and Sherry down for it. It seems to be a slow grower though...so it will probably not be this year...unless it really takes off this spring.

Greg, when I was out looking around yesterday I noticed I will definitely have Camera Ready for you this year! If anyone else wants it let me know, I should have enough to share several.

Mary Ann - I will put you down as well, only Sue in front of you. It is a slower grower, but I have two plants.

Leslie, cancel that Strut Your Stuff, just found the tag in the garden, forgot to reset my list from Want to Have! Thanks for the others!
