In the meantime, loved Barbara's second *S* Iris -- Supreme Sultan! -- posted last night.
And congratulations to Tom whose Private Dan/Don thread and the Companion Thread were second and third in competition. I think the Iris forum had as many posts in these three threads as all the other forums combined! I gotta go and see if I'm right about that!

Omigosh -- our top 3 threads combined contained 541 posts. All the other top threads combined contained 200 posts!! Our Alphabet thread, all by itself, was almost double all other threads combined!!
Way to go, Iris Addicts!!!

Tracy's Sunshine. Got it for the name to go in the Memorial bed for my niece Crystal and step-nephew Tracy. From the vendor photograph, didn't think I would like it all that much...then it bloomed.
Wow...Trade Secret is a real beauty and I love those horns on TLB. Gotta love that beard on Talisman.
Planted this one last summer...hoping to see it bloom this year.

I really like Trade Secret, Mary Ann. For my 'T' iris I will have to go with one that is a reliable bloomer and re-bloomer, and is also just a beautiful little iris.
Someone handed me a little rhizome of this iris at a plant exchange in April several years ago. I planted it and it bloomed that fall and has never missed a bloom time since. The only complaint possible is that it is not a fast increaser. However, maybe that is just in my area.
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?
