Bonnie, I fully understand why you gobbled! You can post Ninja too. After all I am sure we all have shared favorites!

Boy do I like that Navajo Code. Why have I yet to order it????

I think for my other N, I will go with one I just ordered. (I don't have many N's and no more that have bloomed yet).

I choose Neon Mama:

I wasn't participating in this because I didn't have any of my own photos to share. So I'll join in at "N" and use photos others have generously donated to the data base.

Never Been Kissed

I'm hoping they both bloom this season.

Great choices everyone! Thumbs up

Great pictures you guys !! This thread is getting me excited for spring will be fun to look at everyone's new purchases from last year Smiling I really like (Naughty Nights) hoping it blooms at home this year. My first choice would have been (Noble Gesture) today but I don't have a picture of it with me so maybe Kent can help us out he has the best picture of it I have seen of all the dark purple ones I grow it is my favorite every year and one of the 1st to bloom.

I thought these two were interesting Love the colors in them so they are my pick for the day.

My "N" is Nouveau Riche that I got from a fellow BGIS lady who was moving to Florida and could not take her beautiful irises with her there. It has a rich color and nice sized blooms.
