I have got to have Hugs, Stacey! Good post.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Thanks Bonnie - So glad you like it and it's been a good grower up here in southern Pennsylvania.

More polite, er quieter, than burping the alphabet.

Bonnie, Hugs is adorable! It's going to have to go on my list along with Giggles & Grins. With names like those who could resist!!

Good idea Mary Ann, and certainly appropriate, because we obviously love all colors equally

Sweet little Honorabile (1848) is my second.

Ok...if the consensus is that we get to do two because it's a holiday then who am I to resist? Here is my second choice...Holy Night.

Ummm Stacey -- I don't think your High Master -- is. It's a gorgeous Iris, but High Master is yellow and maroon. Here's a picture of mine:

Yours looks more like Teenybopper:

Well -- probably not Teenybopper -- yours has a white stripe down the center of the fall, Teenybopper does not. But a luminata with Teenybopper's colors.

Or perhaps New Leaf, as it has that line down the falls, but there's no telling as there are a lot of luminatas like this.

New Leaf is definitely in her garden (as she posted a picture and the photo details says so). She has not posted a picture of "High Master'; but that don't mean a thing!

Got to go see her garden in the Spring and take loads of pictures!

Pam, I nearly sprayed my tea all over the computer when I read your remark about burping the alphabet.. I'm betting you either grew up with brothers, or raised boys...

My second choice today is IB 'Hot Spice'
