In keeping with the orange hues I love this one.

Temple of Time


Then Looking Beautiful that is a more muted apricot mix.

I hope they both bloom this spring, I love seeing them in my garden.

Oh I'm liking that Looking Beautiful. Gorgeous colors!

Love them all, but especially Looking Beautiful. A well-named iris!

I agree Mika -- it's my kind of Iris!!!

Janie -- that picture needs to be in the database!!

Looking Beautiful reminds me of vintage garments, something from the Downton Abbey period and style. That's a bloom I would stop and stare at for a while.

Looking Beautiful was a great surprise. When our iris friend moved to Florida, she sold our club the irises for $3 if we would dig them. She had a map. It was supposed to be Secret Service but Looking Beautiful was next to it so I think I got a good deal on that or bad map reading gone good.

Jane, I have Secret Service if you still want it.

Thanks for the offer Phillip2b but I got a big fat one from California Sue last fall. It looks like it will make it through. I have another one that did not bloom so do not know if it is Looking Beautiful or Secret Service. Surprises are sometimes nice!

UndertheSun said:Barbara, Bonnie and Deb, I have added your names next to Inside job. I'll have to check on it in Spring.

Any of those you want a piece of Celia, let me know.

If anyone likes the NoID luminata (possibly Fancy Woman), it's a nice 3 year old clump, so there will be some of it to share. As for the others, I will have to check on them in Spring.

That noid is gorgeous, I would love some if you have extra.

Sally and Cleta, I added your names to the NoID luminata list. If there isn't enough to go around this year, you'll be at the top of the list next year.

I just placed an order with Tempo Two and Barry Blyth kindly agreed to let me have Looking Beautiful as a bonus plant - so thanks, Janie, for posting the photo - I'm delighted!

Yea, Mika!!!

Thanks, Debra. I'll be placing a small order with Bianco (because it's easy to transact within the EU) and leaving the US sites for this year. I went completely overboard (for me) with Tempo Two - they have such glorious plants. These threads are such fun, but not so good for my bank balance!

Ooooh, now I am jealous. I want to know what Biancos you get.

I hear you on that bank balance.

Rob,
Thank you so much!
Waiting a year would not bother me.

Mika, an order with Tempo Two is indeed exciting! We've been sharing our lists of newly ordered cultivars here:
The thread "2016 Orders" in Irises forum
I get almost as excited about everyone else's orders as my own! LOL
