For those who like IBs, 'Arctic Wind' is a lovely white & no longer in the Mid America catalog. 'Whites don't sell' theory. 3 of us in the area grow it & it show off on garden tours.

When it says to list alphabetically do we divide by TB, BB, IB and SDB and all in one list?

I still have 7 acres but getting too darn old for all this and cutting back.. Lucky for me two gals are taking over Snowpeak Iris, the iris will still be here on the homestead, and I get to hybridize and take all the pictures I want. After this year, all I will do for the business is to do the paperwork.

Enjoy and have fun.

I think it is wonderful that you will still be an active part of Snowpeak.

Thank you Leslie, I am giving advice and this year trimming, making all new stakes with the names on them and then sorting all the bags in alpha order and getting them in the field for them to plant.

Next year just the boring paperwork.:)

Well they were lucky as I had lots of stock and they did not have to buy it...

Lucy,

I took your advice and bought Arctic Wind. I don't think I have any white medians. I see there is no picture in the Database. If I get a camera and if it blooms next year, I'll try to remedy that.

I found a photo at the iris encyclopedia but I don't know how to transfer it to here.
irises.org iris encyclopedia is on the left side. Find IB & the rest is alphabetical. It makes a lovely clump.
