Number 85 is Flash Of Light. It's an eye catcher.

Thanks Bonnie, I used to not be fond of the subtle colors, but I've begun to like them more as time passes.

You are providing a wealth to the data base Tom........I've said this before but it is a real pleasure to see such excellent pictures of varieties I'll never grow. Second best thing to having them in my own garden.

We can disagree about that.........I would be happy to have taken any of them. Your well grown iris are good subjects for the camera and you do a good job with lighting. We'll be able to savor these pictures in the winter.

Number 86 is New Face. I've tried to use this one in crosses, but haven't had any luck. Anyone make it work?

Grace Upon Grace is indeed stunning! That line around the standards looks almost silver. I recall purples often read blue in your photos, is that the case with this one? Most of the data base pics are closer to yours, besides Brad's, which do look more purple.

Flash of Light is certainly eye catching!

New Face- OMG, glorious!

Tom, there are other serious collectors interested in Beacon of Light, so please don't pass up a good trade with someone who is likely to have something you'd like in return (which I'm very doubtful to have). I very much appreciate your kind, generous offer- perhaps when there are more increases available, keep me in mind then.

Grace Upon Grace is pretty accurate coloring in the photo. It's such a photogenic flower you could take a good picture with an old brownie starflash! Rolling on the floor laughing

You are first on the list to get a Beacon of Light. I'll go in the order asked! Smiling

Celia I have a sale every July. I post it on Craig's list and run it through the month. I also do some for postage for regulars on here.

I will keep my eyes open!

I ran across Frontier Marshall that is a possible match for your Dynamite imposter. Someone said it does not have PBF, tho, which FM is listed as having.
