We may have done. I will have to go back and look. February has been a trying month. smiles

Spoons, horns and flounces are becoming my new 'gotta look at first!' irises.

I know how you feel Celia. I have bought quite a few in the last year!

I found one I put on my bonus list from Blue J, Twilight Serenade. I may just buy it. My budget is kind of small but I can manage $3.50 I think. Lol

Besides still lusting after dwarfs I have become enamored with luminatas. I also like any iris with a big bushy beard and I like some horns. If a flounce becomes so big it is like another narrow standard it does not appeal to me. I have one called Romantic Voyage that has horns so long they can get tangled with the standards.

You know - maybe the space agers can wait until summer. I know I will have many new ones that will hopefully bloom, and maybe others will have more pics too. Heaven knows that still gives me more than enough time to add to my collection (like I really need to!).

We can have a thread for those and new for us blooms? I know I'll have a few.

Bonnie -- we did Luminatas on Feb. 20. Blends kinda got covered in the *Oddball* group on Feb. 17. Also a lot of them were included in the BiColor groups.

I was gonna do a Space-Age thread -- but didn't think it would have a big response. I also wanted to do Browns and a Catch-Up thread -- but I kinda feel like everyone is getting tired of posting pictures -- every thread this week has had fewer and fewer responses. And -- we will be posting pictures like mad in a matter of weeks.

However -- we can do a Space-Age, Browns and Catch-up thread altogether if everyone/anyone is interested?

I think we did because I posted Downtown Brown, and Touch of Mahogany........

Next time maybe we should name them Show Us Your Iris - Reds (instead of Part 1), etc. We all seem to be having memory lapses!!

OK -- sit tight. I'm gonna go through the first week again and see exactly what we did. That week (and the first part of week 2) we didn't separate out the days. I know that a lot of people included lines and speckles in with Luminatas. But we could do a separate thread.

I'm almost certain that we didn't do browns. But I will look again.

Bonnie -- Luminatas were Show us your Colors #5. I'll double-check that too.

Leslie -- that might be a good idea for next winter when we're all going bug-s**t!!!

Lucy -- you might be right -- I'm gonna check again.

Thanks for your input Rob and Marilyn. Let me do a little sleuthing and I'll get back to y'all on this.

I know I slowed down with my posting because I'm still new to the Iris world. The selfs were easy but some of the pattern types got confusing, (for me) so I started looking up my Iris in the database and only got through the "C's". Maybe by next year I'll have it together and more photos to post... Also I worked a lot of overtime this week
