Got some real lookers that may have to go on the list of must haves. Spotted this one here a while ago that may go on the list.

Thanks Neal. Our other doggie passed away at the end of July after 15 1/2 years. The house just was too empty, so we went to the Humane Society in September and found our little Bailey girl.

I think Dare Me was one of the bonus irises at Mid America last year, but I chose another one, Oh well, I hadn't seen Brad's picture yet! Whistling

No Debra, she is a puggle. Part beagle/part pug. Lots of energy!
Tom, there is always this year!

Lots of nice choices for D iris!

Jan Thanks for posting Dazzle. I just planted that one and am waiting to see it bloom!

Ken Your puggle is adorable!

My choice today was a tough one, but some of the competition had already been posted ( Decadence and Drunks ) so I will go with
Dressed to Kill

My "Dressed to Kill" did not bloom last year (it's first season), so I am greatly looking forward to it. Your pictures are amazing Pam.

So many nice pictures.. I can'remember all the names... But Dare Me and Drinks at Sunset are awfully nice.. Arlyn, love your plicata ( Dotted Swiss).. Something very elegant about the blue and white together. I'm hoping Blue Shimmer blooms this year for me..

I would have said Dancing Star, but lost it a couple of years back, apparently to scorch.

So, I'll say Dinner Talk

Dare Me was one of the bonus choices at MidAmerica last year -- and I got it!!! So excited to see it bloom this spring!!

Pam -- Dressed to Kill is drop-dead gorgeous!!! Lovey dubby

I love Drinks at Sunset -- wanted it for years. Thanks to a generous ATP member, I got it in 2013. It hasn't bloomed for me yet -- but surely will this spring!!

Ken -- everybody is right -- Bailey IS adorable!! Lovey dubby I'm sorry for the loss of your previous dog -- I just went through that myself a year ago -- it's so hard. You did the smart thing by finding another critter to love. Bonus points for finding one at the shelter!! Thumbs up Thumbs up Thumbs up

Pam, that is such a gorgeous shot of Dressed to Kill, I just had to add it to my long wish list! and import it to the database too. Your existing shot in the database is stunning too.
