tveguy3 said:Season's in the sun was my top choice last year from Mid-America. I think it's going to be a fast grower, It had like 7 or 8 increases already before winter.


Seasons in the Sun was my top pick then, and now. Glad to hear that it's doing so well for you, Tom.

Land Down Under was really cool it had a great color impact in the garden and really stood out this year the clump shot shows that the branching is a little tight but WOW what a unique color combo, it had good stems which will help it stand up to our horrible spring winds and I like that the plants showed lot's of increase so it was one of my favorite's of his new intro's from 2013. I hope the flower color is the same in Iowa as it was in Oregon really liked the brightness when it first opened and looking forward to seeing it again in the spring at home. Smiling

Some more pictures of it in Full Sun in the morning as it was just opening and late afternoon on a aged bloom this one is a neat flower.

Here is a portion of the 2015 intro's from Mid America as usual they have more Eye Candy and plants to drool Sticking tongue out Drooling over this year. I am looking forward to the catalog to see what has been added to the garden and the detailed description of all of these, my favorites of the bunch are (Born This Way) and (Poem Of Love) was hoping they would get a name they have been on the want list since I first seen them a couple years ago, for the Pink Lovers like myself (Poem Of Love) is recommended for color there is nothing else like it available right now very unique beautiful color with the blue hue's in it will make it a stand out in the garden. I would also like a piece of (Barbara Rider) it is a very late blooming one was just starting to open when a lot of others were finished and I am always looking for these late ones to extend my season what I saw of it was wonderful with a great pedigree. Hurray!

Brad, those are gorgeous. I have not looked them all up, but since I had already been looking at Mid-America's website I typed in Poem Of Love and it pulled up the description! Step over Bejeweled...I think I'm going to have to get Poem Of Love (although I'll wait a year or two for the price to come down)!

Drooling Some more to drool over this morning! I think I read on facebook that they lost the marker for Born This Way so they don't know the parents. That one is at the top of the list for me. Also like Poem Of Love and Catch My Breath. Lovey dubby Lovey dubby

Yes, the website description said they had lost the tag for Born This Way. Too bad...but it's still a gorgeous iris!! Big Grin I agree on Poem of Love and Catch My Breath. They are beautiful. So many gorgeous pinks lately...it will be hard to choose between them all!

Barbara Rider. Some irises are made to be seen up close in order to enjoy their subtle and delicate coloring and some are bold and just want to stand in a clump like a band of soldiers on parade. Barbara Rider is both. As an up close bloom she will be admired for form and color and as a clump across the garden her mass of blooms, lit by a golden beard, will beckon. I love it!
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?
