I post the ones we have, which is why you don't see tall bearded here. Also my photos tend to be my seedlings & used for study.

Jane, isn't this an awesome forum for helping one to feel so restrained and rational- I would never have described myself that way till I started hanging out with these folks!

Funny Neal, but wait, you'll get with the rest of us sooner or later!

You have too much space!

I have just over 600 cultivars, that doesn't count the 142 seedlings I planted last summer, it also doesn't count any NOIDS. I have been posting irises I have, a few times I have posted some I used to have, but have culled out or lost. I always indicate that in the post though. Since I planted a lot of irises last summer (I can't, or don't want to remember how many

) many of them haven't bloomed yet, so in that case I use a data base photo.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Same here, my pictures posted are the ones I have. Of the ones I posted I think Badlands was the only one I know I have lost, and Rare Find is not looking very good!

Being such a newbie, I only have a very few. I have posted ones I have on a wishlist in prior threads. On these latter ones, I post only what I have or have on order.

I laid plans for 2 new beds, though! This one will be larger than pictured. Hubby tsk tsked at the loss of his grass but I (patiently) explained I'm helping him by lessening how much he has to mow. Heh heh heh...er...I mean...right?

This one by the driveway will be widened by 2' or so.

Awesome blooms, you guys!! I'm so enjoying seeing everyone's flowers!!

I also post only what I currently own. I have a list of Irises that I plan to acquire -- but they're not included in my photos on this list. I *only* have about 400 varieties.

You're not "out of your league here" Janie -- you're just in the same place that most of us were several years ago. You too can become an addict!!!

I spent a great deal of time yesterday looking up the "Flower Pattern" in the database but I only got through my C's, so anything I post after this (including this one) is just a guess on my part.
