well, they sure have some beauties and your photographic skills are really making them tempting!

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?

I purposely avoided this thread, but then succumbed to temptation! Such lovely photos and beautiful irises. My wish list is getting out of control.

to all of you that shared your Superstition trip!

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Their catalog does not have pictures and it is not available on line in PDF format. They don't have all of the available iris cultivars pictures up on Facebook either. You will need to use ATP's iris database (or some other picture laden database) to view the pictures of what is available from Superstition Iris Gardens this season.

Facebook Quote from Rick & Roger

"We are old school, have been in business for 29 years and are in slowing-down mode the last few years, so we only sell through a descriptive mail order catalog which can be obtained by sending $1.50 to Superstition Iris Gardens, 2536 Old Hwy, Catheys Valley CA 95306"

and speaking to the sold out list (someone was commenting that the list was very long and there would be nothing left to order).

"We list around 800 varieties of iris and there are maybe 125 or so on this list, so we have PLENTY of iris left for this year. The early bird gets the worm so to say, but there are tens of thousands of worms left."

First I want to stay Happy 4th of July to everyone, and I'm so glad I live in the Greatest Country in the World, Happy Birthday America!

So I'm going to get my pictures of Superstition Gardens posted once and for all...
