I just bought Birthday Girl from Superstition this year, so maybe 2016 or 2017.

It is really hard to choose just one isn't it. I wanted to put Baditude in for a B but chose Black Widow. Now I am hoping Baditude does not somehow find out and pout.... or worse. For today - I think this is D day - I am going to choose Dazzling Sarah. I thought about Decadence as it is always a wonderful show-off, or Daughter of stars, who did show-off this fall, but finally decided to choose DS.




This has huge blooms that makes you stop and stare. smiles

Dazzling Sarah is indeed dazzling, Bonnie!! Never heard of her before.

Never heard of Croft's Caress either -- what a beauty, Barbara!

I added a lot of *D* Irises this past year, but don't have photos of those (of my own) -- so I'm going to choose Disguise:
Thumb of 2015-01-15/Muddymitts/f3d089 This is a Tom Johnson Iris from 2006. I love the bright orange beards against the almost black falls.

That's a beauty Bonnie!!

I'll go with something a bit different, a Pacific Coast iris by Joe Ghio


and throw in Decadence because as you said, it's a show-off!

Anyone who isn't already an Iris Addict would surely become one looking at your two photos Sue -- look at the difference in those two Irises!! And both Irises!!! Lovey dubby

Ah -- a Tom Johnson Iris -- no wonder I like it Nancy!!!

That's the beauty of it, so many selections and types. I plan to add more Pacific Coast, just joined Society for Pacific Coast Native Iris and ordered seeds from them. Thumbs up

Nancy, I planted Dream Team last summer and hope it blooms this spring. It was highly recommended.

Here's my "D" iris....Dotted Swiss....It was one I got from my mother, who had bought it from Cooley's, "back in the day", as they say:

I think you'll love it. It has a slight greenish cast in my yard.

Bonnie, I love Dazzling Sarah. Very nice and that beard. Boy it's hard to just select one, but I will follow the rules. Angel I'm going with Dipped In Dots, just love this one.
