Lucy - I thought that might be cristata! I am going to redo some of my front garden that is shady. I would love to get some from you next year. I would still like a rhizome of Reddy Set too to compare with my High Wire NOid. I forgot to get back to you about it this year.

Arlyn - Wow, I love all three. Really nice pictures.

I have a few that bloomed the first year I got them, then haven't bloomed since. These first bloomed in 2013, and I would really like to see them again:

Abiqua Falls - stunning and more lavender in bright sun, it takes on this softer blue in shade:



Silken Trim - I got this as a bonus and really liked it. The darker blackish wine coloring on the falls really makes it stand out from a distance.



And Starship Enterprise - I love this one and it grew a lot last winter. Thought I would finally get bloom again, but alas...

Lucy, I imported your photo to the data base- I checked the entry and found there was no photo, and yours is lovely.

Arlyn, I love all 3 of those! Bluebeard's Ghost is gorgeous. And that photo of Fantastic Blue has me extra excited to see it bloom- it is increasing beautifully!

Leslie, I see the appeal of Silken Trim- a real beauty. Starship Enterprise always draws me, such bold contrast.

Fantastic Blue is....well, fantastic ! It's a great grower, makes a lot of increase.....almost TOO much.....it is going to need division ,here, every two years, not every three !

Arlyn - it is such a beauty I am sure there will always be takers for the extras!

Beautiful Iris Arlyn, I'm so glad you sent me Fantastic Blue, I love it.
I have wanted Bluebeards Ghost for a long time. I think it has to be on next years "have to get list".
Everyone's photos are awesome.

Leslie--I wrote down your requests; we can ship in July--BUT REMIND ME!

Variegatas are on the lower end of my favorite colors combos... I'm starting to see why so many people love 'Kathy Chilton' though.. This picture is from the Spring, but it's blooming now too.


Fabulous color on 'Terracotta bay'.


The beards on 'White Hot' are insane.

I got White Hot as a bonus from Superstition this year.

You'll love it Barbara!

Love your pictures of White Hot, Sherry

Edge Of The World is an interesting, and pretty iris that seems to grow well and bloom every year as well.

Super Hero always makes a bright spot in the garden. I love the golden edge and bright yellow zone in the falls. It grows pretty well here too.

Brides Halo is an older one, but always a delight to see in the spring. Grows well too.

Congratulations, This was the top thread this week and two of Kent's iris photo's made the top 9 photos. Most of the others were day lilies.

Glad to see Kent's pics made it!!!

Tom - your pictures are really nice. Bride's Halo didn't bloom for me this year. Hope it starts next year so I can see that lovely one in person. White Hot better bloom too.

Must have White Hot, must have White Hot, must have...........

Must have Silken Trim, must have Silken Trim, must have.........

I keep putting Edge of the World on my list and taking it back off. Putting it back on again...sigh...

Friends grow White Hot. It won at the ISM show 2 years ago & superstition gave them new introductions. They do that if you can give them show winning information.

I have shown this before but not on this thread. J. Burton '08 MTB Isabella Anna
