I went to their website and they aren't open for business yet, but if you click on their introductions the new ones come up so you can see them anyway. Oh my, another bunch of beauties. Some really nice little guys too. Do you think if I went out there and held up a sign that read "I work for irises" I'd get a job????

I don't know Tom, but since Tom Johnson supposedly works alone he might welcome a little extra help!!! Their website says they will open on or before March 1st. Since that's only 2 days away I spent the evening going through their listings and plan to check each day to catch them when they open. I want to be sure I get Ready For My Closeup this year...and since Burgards is sold out on Huckleberry Sundae I'm hoping to get that from MId-America too! (Even though it is listed at $ 30, $10 more than Burgards!)

It's worth a try, Tom. smiles

It's Catch My Breath for me -- no contest!!!!

I made a list of the SDBs when they were posted on facebook & then checked 'this year' choices. I don't have the room to add just their plants.

I want Catch my Breath and Shattered Glass.

Rainbow Sunset is more muted than Barbara Rider, but I really like how the falls glow in the clump shots.

I really like Puzzled too because the falls really set off the standards.

I really enjoyed the seedlings at Mid American we found some amazing new patterns and colors there we were in awe at the sure volume of seedlings and I didn't get to see half of them, but found some incredible ones next year will plan more time there it is such a fun garden to Tour and growing every year. Here is the first portion of seedlings

just looking at the photos keep us busy. I'm sure if the beards on the first pink are blue or purple.

Love that first one and that blue and purple one 4th one down is unbieveable Several others as well.

Are the first three photos of the same iris?

O.M.G. We need an icon for a jaw-dropped smiley. I need to stay healthy for a looooooooooooong time -- in order to get to see these up close and personal!!!

I want these

Deb -- I love one and four as well!!! And Brad's first one (pink) and third one (lavender blue dilly dilly) and that gorgeous black cherry and white Plicata (which might be Lines and Speckles!).

Oh my.

I will take these two please! The smokey lavender with blue falls is so striking!

The peachy clump is so much more striking when you enlarge the picture. I love the deep red orange at the hafts.

Leslie, I'm glad you pointed that peach with rusty hafts out- really unique and gorgeous! Did you notice the similar one with less rust, but with rusty beards? Also beautifully unique!

So much gorgeousness!!!

I love and want them all!

I want a some of them before the others, but I still want all of them. So I must once again say....I'll take one of each.

Mary Ann.. I would have a hard time choosing if he introduced them all in a 1 yr such a good group of flowers most were 1st or 2nd year plants so they are a work in progress but it was a lot of fun just to see a little glimpse of the future and what's popping up in the seedling beds. I think what surprised me was the amount of really good ones that are just coming along, can't wait to see the brand new ones flowering this year.

Lucy... the beards were more violet than blue really stunning flower it looked like to me there was quite a bit of that one and I thought it might get introduced this year but maybe not enough yet so hopefully 2016

Bonnie.. yes they are the same flower and I want it

Tom... You better bring a 4 wheeler to keep up and work with him he must never sleep I was amazed at how much he can get done in a short period of time. I took this 1st picture at Sunset on a Monday night admiring how neat and perfect the rows were to plant in and returned Weds morning and they were all labeled, planted and lined out with seedlings and sprinkler system attached

Wow! He's hired!

Seriously now, that's an impressive amount of work in a short period of time!
