LynnG is your sister? How cool is that! Think that you are our first sibling members!!!

Have fun at the BD party, Tom!

I also love Blyth, Ghio and Keppel Irises. Tom Johnson's are my new love -- it seems like everything he produces just really appeals to me!!

I've seen Iris by Keppel - but I don't know any Irises by Blyth or Ghio. Do you know some Irises by these hybridizers I can look up ?

I think those are beautiful too!! And welcome back Denman.

http://wiki.irises.org/bin/vie... Barry's wife, and children, also hybridize, and have some registered iris

I was just sent two subs for irises that have died over this spring..... both luminatas. I am ok with that. LOL

The best way to do this is to use the ATP database and search by hybridizer. I just looked there and couldn't figure out how to do that -- but I know it can be done because it's been discussed here before. I hope someone knowledgeable checks in soon as sees this thread..............

For starters -- for Blyth: Copatonic, Decadence, Country Kisses, Crazy For You

for Ghio: Cupid's Arrow, Day on the Bay, Designer Label

Tom Johnson: Disguise, Fashion Diva, French Riviera

I already found a lovely TB Iris by Blyth that I want (Beach Girl) and Ghio has some wonderful Louisiana Iris that I would also like to add to my garden. Thanks for introducing me to these two
hybridizers!

One is Eyedazzler


The other is Farscape IB only 17.5 inches and is a deep wine and yellow/brown.

go to database for iris, and search .....but only type in Hybridizers name, that should bring up all their iris that are listed at the ATP database.

beat me to it, and did it better, Kent

Why can I not make this work? If I type in Hybridizer: Tom Johnson -- all I get is the Iris Tom Johnson (cultivar).

I'm missing something, somewhere.................

Try Thomas Johnson.

WHEW ! THAT was quite a post and a tongue-lashing, Phillip. Have a real nice day !

It wasn't meant to be a tongue-lashing!
It was meant to say we're all different any everyone can participate, lurk, or ? Nothing more or less.
I'm glad your back!

Mary Ann,
Go to the iris database then choose search by characteristics. This will bring you to a screen where you can search by pattern, color, hybridizer, etc. In the hybridizer space type in the hybridizer's name, hit search then prepare to be awed

My preference is for blends and for ruffles. It's also a little like preferring $100 bills. I still like getting ones, twos, fives, tens, twenties and fifties.
