Yay Marilyn -- it's a beauty!!!

OK ladies and gents -- tomorrow's letter is *Y* -- which should be a *little* easier than today. If you have no *Y*, show us a *Y* you'd like to have. Or show us another letter Iris that you do have. Or show us another letter Iris that you'd like to have. IOW -- show us an Iris!!!! (we're easy )

Did I have the only X?

No, Tom, well, actually, technically you do since I don't have my Arilbred Iris 'Xerxes' in hand yet, its a Superstition order.

Yup -- the only one, Tom!!!

I don't have any Y's so I'm listing one I would love to add to my garden: Yuppy Puppy by Tom Burseen



The horns are sometimes flounced: http://wildirisrows.com/shop/i...

No Y here so I'll add something from my Wish List

Going with a little guy called Yummy Accents




the color on the last one is really more accurate.

Well, I would go with Yo Yo, an SDB, but I cant find my photo of it (I can hear a collective sigh). Tom, that little guy is really cute. I cant wait until mine blooms. smiles

I have (supposedly) two "Y" irises. There is one MIA that probably is lost (Yubblegum) which leaves me with...................

Yaquina Blue

I have only one *Y* Iris -- Yaquina Blue -- and Greg beat me to it.

So I'm gonna post a picture of this beauty anyway (not my pic, mine hasn't bloomed yet) -- and then go select an alternative.


Edited to add -- 1992 Schreiner's.

For my alternative, I choose High Master:


High Master is a 2001 Blyth introduction.

You know how sometimes you're disappointed when an Iris blooms? The pictures were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful -- and the actual bloom is just OK? Well -- this is NOT one of those Irises. This is one that was just the opposite -- I expected a nice Iris -- I got a drop-dead gorgeous Iris. I am looking forward to a clump of this one!

I have High Master as well and so looking forward to its maiden bloom.

Yours Truly is high up on my wish list.

Very limited band width is preventing me from "playing" , and even from posting on most days ! The campground is having some kind of problems with their wifi, and service lines, and, being across the street from the Coast Guard Station, and the Mobile Bay pilot Station (not to mention all the ship traffic !) ties up all the "over the air" band width.....so......

Oh -- we're missing you, Arlyn.

You're gonna love it, Greg!!

Deb -- that's a beauty!

I will have to do my unintroduced arilbred seedling. It's tough to increase those in my beds. Here we go 'Ye Gadd'

Love those colors, Lucy.

Wonderful Lucy!!

Only Y I have is Yummy Accent, but it hasn't bloomed yet.

A wishlist Y of mine is the Japanese Iris Yuzen. Love the narrow band of color on the white bloom! Please open the link to see Chad Harris's lovely pic:
