Some more reigning in of other plants will be required to make room, but I do have a plan. There's a daylily that isn't pink enough that is going to another bed, so there one will reside. I must reign myself in too though, this easily gets ridiculous, lol!

I love Still The One... gorgeous and Don't Stop Believing has been on my wish list for over a year now. You did make out like a bandit!! So glad you went to the event and shared with us. Funny how happy the rest of are when another one of us makes a haul. LOL

pinks

Enough Is Enough is amazing! Nice haul, Neal!

Oh -- you lucky duck! Still The One and Don't Stop Believing are just fantastic!! I'm so glad you went!!

I ordered SDB 'Portland Pink' from Mid America this year. It is supposed to bloom late as it has an unusual background. Right next to Chanted from the club sale which is a usual SDB.

Love the IB. Nice haul Neal!!

I almost got Portland Pink, but didn't now I wish I had. Oh well there's next year. I did get Mordor and Elf Esteem though.

Tom, you got Mordor!!! Want!

Me too! Tom has great taste in irises.

He certainly does.

Neal:
So glad you came to the club sale and got some good pinks. I was so busy pulling the tickets that I didn't really get much that I wanted since they were already chosen. But I did get Puzzled, Etcetera and Triple Dip plus a huge Coralina, all from MidAmerica (I think) and all were nice sizes. I planned to get pinks and blues and came home with neither of them. I will be coming to your garden in the spring to see your pinks!

oooooh ooooh -- can I come too?

Jane, it was such fun! Wish I could have stayed longer and chatted with everyone, but I had a very impatient friend waiting outside for me. You did get some great ones! And please do come see the gardens!

You too Mary Ann!

Cool! Thanks Neal -- if I can, I will!!

We also bought Mordor & people had to explain the character to me. Silly old lady.

I have my heart set on Mordor so I guess it will HAVE to be at the top of next years list. sigh

I must be in a "pondering" mood today !.....In hearing you talk about "Mordor"....I started thinking about the "Trilogy", and of course, The Hobbit....then to "theme gardens"....and all the possibilities ! I, of course like "oldies", first, and of course, My "Indians", Rita has her "Star Wars", but, the possibilities are endless !
Song Tilles
Movies
Royalty ("King" this, or" Princess" that )
States
iris named for "other" flowers
"Little" iris names ( Lttle Mohee, Little Blackfoot, etc. )
and the possibilities go on for ever !, All the Dykes winners, everything by Zurbrigg, only luminatas

My theme is "If it looks good, get it!

Have y'all noticed how many song names Tom Johnson uses? And Paul Black too? I realized 3 of 4 of those I got from the club sale were Enough is Enough, Still the One, and Don't Stop Believing- all songs!

The only reason I couldn't do a theme garden by names is because the colors don't necessarily go together....and that would break my brain....
