Well I had to stop. No digging allowed and no spots prepared for more. For once I figured correctly. But watch out next year! (Knock on wood.) That and I am leaving town for three weeks, so no Internet after Thurs. I will be interested to see what new ideas are posted while I am gone!

Do you think I'm an "addict" and need to call "Iris-anonymous" ?

Kentucky is excellent Iris territory!

No Rehab facility for IA, though -- IA is *right here* on ATP, available to you no matter where you live!

IA= Iris Addictions or Iris Anonymous
EA= Enablers Anonymous

Just want to get all of the acronyms straight

Is there a PL= plicata lover?
Or BKO=broken color obsessed?

We could go on forever, but I need breakfast.

IA -- Irisaholics Anonymous

There isn't a PL or BKO or EA yet -- no reason not to create it!!!

oh, me too, Neal. I was watering some newly planted Luminatas this morning and thinking that these are not my favorite colors........... but they will be when they glow!

I am an "AM" kinda guy (Amoena) and a "BI" (Bitone) kinda guy, and I also love a beautiful "SF" (Self).
I think WABASH is my favorite Iris, followed by HELEN COLLINGWOOD and FRANK ADAMS.
