The thread count only goes to new threads started that week until Friday night. I think the longest thread in the world is Paul's thread on Cubits titled "What did you do in your garden today?" with over 7000 replies! Speaking of Paul, I haven't seen much of him on here lately, I hope he's OK.

I've had Fashonably Late and Fashionista for a while, but I'm still waiting for them to bloom. They both got eaten off short last winter by the darn rabbits.!!! Maybe this year.

So many beautiful irises!!!

I especially like the colors on Fiesta Time, Fashionable Late and French Riviera.

Lovely picture of Fine Wine Barbara...and Jan, if Barbara doesn't have any extras I will probably be able to spare a piece or two. I put you down for it.

Debra, I've been wanting Fashionably Late for awhile...you just reminded my why!!! Once again thanks go out to Brad for the gorgeous photos!!!

Celia, that blue on Full Tide looks unreal!! Is it really that color? Beautiful!

I had trouble deciding again...but fortunately Barbara posted Fine Wine so that narrowed the choices. I really want to post Figure Head because it is such a large and beautiful flower...but in the end I just can't ignore the screaming beards on Fuzzy Wuzzy Rocket. My pictures don't do it justice...I'll have to try to get some better ones this spring.

Full Tide is indeed that color!

Gorgeous!!!

Fall Line

French Can Can - Great color and good grower in my garden.

Beautiful -- beautiful -- beautiful!! Every one of them. Greg -- love the little dab of yellow on the falls of Fall Line. And think I'm gonna have to break down and buy Fashionably Late -- what a color!!!

And speaking of photographs -- big Shout Out to our own Brad Collins, whose photograph of Espionage graces the inside cover of Keith Keppel's 2015 Iris catalog -- received today!!! WAY TO GO BRAD!!!!!!! Always knew you'd be famous someday!!

Barbara

Thanks Debra!

Congrats Brad! Way to go!!!

Omigosh -- Fashionably Late is an Iris from the late 1990's -- I thought it was an introduction! Now I just have to find a place to buy it from!!

Country Delights, Pleasant Valley, C & T's , Nola's....it's pretty widely available.

Thanks Guys !! 06-77 F or now named Espionage was my favorite in his garden and there were a lot that I really liked kept asking myself if I could only pick 1 to take home with me which one would it be and that plant won it was my pick over them all it has everything you could want in a Iris !! Excited to see his catalog when I get back home in a couple weeks.

You guys had some awesome pics today !! Enjoying seeing them all really like (Friendly Advice) it has done good in Iowa. Mary Ann I will send you some( Fashionably Late) that picture is from a couple years ago and I will have to divide it plenty to share of that one

My Pick for the day is from Thomas Johnson it is called (Full Of Grace)


Espionage

Congrats Brad! Can certainly see you wanted to take that one home. Wowza!


Stacey - What iris lovely is your avatar? Like the fat beards on your French Can Can.

And I agree w/Mary Ann that the spots of yellow on the falls of Fall Line are wonderful. Please consider me for a trade on that one!

Oh Brad -- thank you, thank you!!!

Ahhh Brad...Full Of Grace is on my list to purchase this year. Really nice to see some other pictures of it. Thanks for sharing those. Beautiful form and so feminine.

Well, my "F" is going to look pretty *dated* next to some of these, but, I DO really like it....nice ,bright color, that really stands out in the bed...good, solid grower, increases well....it's "Foxfire":

I'll bet it looks great in a clump Arlyn! I love the bright color!

Well -- it's got to look dated Arlyn -- it precedes the other oldest (mine) by nearly fifty years!!! But I'll bet you can see that one for a city block!!!

Checked on that -- I'm wrong -- Pam's Fiesta Time was the second oldest, introduced in 1986 (I think).
