I'm glad that more people are showing the medians. SDB 'Giggles & Grins' is my G. Actually I have lost it & need to replace. Will have to call on Carol Coleman, the hybridizer cirisonpond.

I love Grace Upon Grace, I have it but it hasn't bloomed yet. Hoping it does this spring.

Holy cow! Some stunners today!

I don't have Giggles and Grins, Lucy, but it sounds like a cute little guy.

I just saw Giggles & Grins somewhere and thought it was really cute. Now to remember where.....

I am liking the show!

Love four that struck me so far.

Greatest Show on Earth
Grace upon Grace
Golly Gee Whiz
Gypsy Lady

Just plain ole; WOW

Leslie, I'll send you some Gypsy Queen this summer. The few I'm keeping will go to an area where there are other beige/wine colors, and near some Red Dragon Periscaria and burgundy leaved Heuchera. She's homely in her current home because everything around her is really bright and gaudy.

So many beauties today! Keep 'em coming!

Earlier a MTB and some other intermediates were posted, I'm really loving those. MTBs have the qualities I love about both heirlooms and moderns!

Second iris Sunday (I love it)!
Glamour Pants
Barbara

I again struggled to pare the list down to one. Even with Tom's "Sunday Double" caveat, it was tough. The winners are:

Gypsy Lord 2006 Keppel TB



This could be this years "Dykes Medal Winner"

Glowing Smile 2001 Hager TB

Just beautiful, everybody!! I love them all!! And I'm loving Second Iris Sunday (love that designation, Barbara -- thanks!!)

Glamour Pants and Gypsy Lord are ones that I made a point of not using, so that someone else could. I love them both!!

There was another on on page 2 that made me go "wow" -- gotta go back and look again................

Of course, Arlyn's Gibson Girl is a classic!!

It was Nancy's Gypsy Geena and Grace Upon Grace -- oh my!!! I've not seen either of these -- they are soooooooooo beautiful!!!

I am loving this thread -- I'm seeing Irises I've never seen before! Of course, the down side is *you know what*!!!

Greg -- I sure hope that Gypsy Lord wins the Dykes this year -- it deserves it!!!

My second choice today would have to be Gitano:


This is a Keppel Iris from 2007. It grows on the north side of my house, with only morning and late afternoon sun, and still manages to increase and bloom. Must be a very robust cultivar!!

Grace Upon Grace.

Hope my Glowing Smile blooms this year! I have it planted in the side garden, where the colors were more carefully laid out. Unlike the best intentions of my other gardens! It is between High Class and Quaker Lady with Calculated Grace in front. (Sounds like a lot from your garden Greg ).

There are so many new iris I am seeing in this alphabet! Wow.

Thinking Grace Upon Grace has to go on my want list!

My brain is on overload! You guys have posted so many beautiful irises!

Barbara, please be sure to add your photos to the database! The one photo that's there just doesn't do it justice!

Belated Happy Birthday Brad! I hope you are having a great time in Hawaii (and if you are back I hope you have some great memories and great pictures to enjoy!)

Glatiatrix, Gingerbread Man, Grateful Red, Gypsy Geena, ...and so many more! GGGGGorgeous!

Most of my G's are new or didn't bloom their first year...but since we get to share two....

Beautiful Marilyn -- look at that bright orange beard on Goldfinger! Outstanding!!!

And Leslie -- I love that little Blueberry Tart that you posted in the database today!!

Well G! I better hurry up and find some pictures before all the one's I have are posted! Icy mess here this morning. Couldn't turn the horses out - that always means extra barn work. Finally inside where it is warm with a cat an a computer on my lap. So here goes...

First Double Sunday pick is Grape Expectations. Love all the purple and blue blends!





Second choice is Gypsy Woman.



Wonderful choices so far everyone!

Happy belated Birthday Brad!

Best.Thread. On ATP!

You guys are moving so fast today and posting so many beauties, my heart was actually racing! (in a good way, not a "oh oh, what's going on way") Trying real hard not to add to my wish list. really, but Leslie, your Grateful Red did me in!!

My Sunday G twofer:

I love Gingerbread Trim!! I will add my second 'G' iris. It was a toss up between Gold Canary and Gnu Rayz. GR is my favorite and a short IB but I have posted it on some of these threads this summer/fall so I guess I will go with

MDB Gold Canary


This class is the earliest and smallest bearded iris. It blooms early and really brings a bright spot of sunshine to the garden when it is still really cool weather.
