Boy, I can see I'm going to have another big Keppel order.

Better get to culling some this year to make room.

He is back at it!

How I love Oh So Sweet, so rare to see a true pink and baby blue iris.

Henhouse said:I'm going to be ripping out most of my daylilies... They under perform for me here.

If you're planning on doing this, I would suggest going to the daylily forum and seeing if you can get a little bit of money for them. There are so many hemheads here that would probably buy them or trade with you if you're interested. Shoot, I'm out of space for daylilies and I'm *still* interested in which varieties you might have!

As for irises, I really like these from Kent's intros:

Black Lipstick was actually my least favorite of that list when looking at his website photos, but the photo he posted on ATP makes it my favorite of the four!

Dark Energy and Tuscan Summer with the right dark self would be a neat little combo.

I'm just gonna sit at home and wait for the boxing party. LOL

But Bonnie, you are an expedition leader! I do believe you are the first to suggest head lamps and such......

You would have to go to Oregon now to get them, they didn't make the Oregon trail for nothing, and here we thought the westward movement was for gold. It's always been about the irises.
