Thankyou so much Brad for sharing these beauties with us.

I am excited about the Keppels because Tempo Two will most likely sell them

and I will keep my fingers crossed that Barry Blyth also brings home some of the Mid America irises.

Just awesome!

Gorgeous photos as always Brad! There is one from MidAmerica I really want now. You're pics are always bad for my wallet.

Now let's get to the heart of your post - 4000+ seedlings!!!!!!!! Holy cow.

Hi, Brad.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

I am glad this past spring/summer was not too hard on your iris field. If the ones you posted are any indication of things to come then we are really in for a treat. The pink beard on that pink iris... oh, my!

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Flowers are food for the soul.

I rushed myself in Salem & didn't get a peek at the seedlings during the TB season. Those are gorgeous. I can't see an end to my wanting new varieties. Thanks. What a lot of seedlings, it will be so fun to see how they turn out. I want to start some when I have a decent bloom selection.

If you enlarge the pink Iris picture it looks like you can reach out and touch it.

awesome picture Brad.
All of the Iris were 10's in my opinion but the bottom one is so unique, I just love it.

I love the beard on that pink one, such a large and bushy one! Like the "pansy" like pattern on the second one too. I better save money, I see losts of it heading West again next year!

I thought the last one looked like a pansy too. The kind of pattern you see on smalls but not often on TB's.
