Tessie the Tease is really a beautifully bright one.

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?

How nice to see them all, especially historic 'True Delight which was hybridized in MA. The posts went from 2 to 4 since this morning. We are really tooting along.

Bonnie - besides Superstition, I know that Stout's and Wild Iris Rows also carry Tobacco Chew ($8).

Hope to see Tessie this year! Your pictures are great Greg! Think Telepathy is going to take another year (

) but it will be worth the wait!!

I really like Tessie The Tease too! I guess that's going to have to go on the list too! Does anyone know who sells it?

Thanks for the Tobacco Chew sources..... another one that can get crossed off of my wish list.

I got it from "Stoney Creek Iris" which is 1 hour North of me (just North of Harrisburg PA).

http://stoneycreekiris.com/ind...

She was closed for the 2014 season and will have her web page up in early March or so. I will ask and find out when.

It's snowing and blowing out this morning, about 4 inches already and much more to come!
Guess I get to start out the "U's" this morning. I'm going with Undercurrent.

Brad, that is really a nice Orange with other colors blending in a bit! Love the ruffles on that one.

I don't think there will be a lot of "U" irises, but I might be wrong. I have 3, but only one has bloomed so far.

Totally Tropical is scrumptious! I love 90% of Tomas Johnson's intros...perhaps I should start stalking him, LOL

My only U is of similar coloring, and a newbie I'm anxiously awaiting to see bloom, "Urgent"

I will go with another little guy

Ultimate

This little guy is a bright gold and warm dark brown. I apologize for the fuzzy photo. I could have used a sharp one of my other little U iris, Urban Star. but the bloom had been beaten by rain so...
