It's a beauty, Stacey!! I'll bet you can see that color a block away!!

Arlyn -- you got through! A delicate beauty, you have there!

Yes, it's good to hear from you Arlyn!! Yves Lassailly is really beautiful! You must be traveling. Where are you?

Yuzen made me drool and I am getting it this year.

Mary Ann.. I really like High Master and that is a good picture of it I don't have any XYZ's to share so here are a couple more favorite's from this year.


Soul Mate


Wishes Granted

Those are two beauties, Brad. Soul Mate is really gorgeous -- love the color and ruffles!! Yummmmmmm!

Okay everybody -- starting midnight we will begin our last letter and last day/week of the Iris by the Alphabet series. I've had a lot of fun, and want to thank everyone for participating.

Mary Ann, are you going to start with "A" again on Saturday? I hope so, this was fun!
Barbara

It was a great idea for a thread Mary Ann! I've had a lot of fun too...and we got to see a lot of new irises we had not seen before!

Brad...both of those are gorgeous! They would be going on my wish list except...oops! They are already there!

I forgot my other W! War Chief. One just opening and a clump shot with Batik.

Sneaking one more in. I just love this one. It's all over in front and back.

I'm glad you posted it. Mine didn't bloom last year...still waiting for a maiden bloom!

My Z choice, a 2007 Paul Black intro

Here's my "Z" Zesting Lemons. I like this one a lot. Very bright in the garden

I like that one alot too, Tom -- so bright and cheerful!

Zooboomafoo is a cutie, Sue. Doncha wonder where they come up with some of these names?

So I have no *Z* to show, and have picked an alternative.

Here is Juicy Rumors:


This is a 2006 Blyth introduction, planted in 2013 in a terrible location -- and it still bloomed beautifully. I plan to replant it in Iris Lane, when I get that bed in order!!

My choice (you could have seen this coming) is Zlatovlaska by Mego:



And speaking of Mego - that Rare Blend he just introduced has me drooling too!



Great thread Mary Ann!

For me and the alphabet I guess it is "Z End"

I have two "Z"s to choose from.

Zee

&

Zing Me

Winner is Zee!

Zee 2004 D. Spoon TB

If I did not have any "Z"s I would have picked the same cultivar that Leslie did and go with "Zlatovlaska". It looks wild crazy and the colors are very cool.

Both gorgeous, Leslie. I can *see* Rare Blend* in my garden...................

Nice choice, Greg. I love the purple stripe down the center of the falls!!

The colors in Zlatovlaska's color ARE very cool -- and look at those horns!!!

I sure bet you can Mary Ann!

Zee makes a lovely clump. Easy to see why it is a favorite of yours Greg.
