Ooohh! I planted Awake ( Leslie) and Chanted ( Susan) this summer!

My photos only give you a hint of their beauty. I love his little guys.!!!! I love that we share them. I think we should start noting our shares, like you did above, and if you share them note that share also until we get a share lineage.

I think it would be fun to see how many times an iris is passed from one person on here to many others. The person gifting it can note the vendor and/or who they got it from until it has a list of all the ATP gardens it has graced.

Bonnie, good idea. I usually note shares on my ATP plants list, will keep up that practice.

A. & D. Cadd

Received these two in 2015 - thank you, Rob.

Grandnephew is named David. This one is headed for my sister's memory bed when she and her husband buy a house next year.




My mother was Polish. This one reblooms, too.




These two are on my wish list.

I lost myself in that article, very nice! The Sass brothers were indeed pioneers among iris hybridizers.

Fun seeing those Debra, I received Polish Princess this summer from Rob and it looks beefy with nice offsets. I have it in the west garden because it looks like a sunset to me Italian Ice is on my wish list too- that quiet but happy yellow is wonderful!

Interesting beards on Devil David.

Your's Truly - Ghio 2013

Holly Lane -- Jack Worel 2007



The flower isn't spectacular -- but love the blue beard on the pink Iris!!!

Beverly Sills by Ben Hagar. My wife ordered Beverly Sills for me when it came out but it was sold out. I got it the next year. We saw Beverly Sills, the Singing Star at the Tabernacle in Salt lake City. It was a wonderful experience and remains a nice memory.

Ooohh, love that one Mary Ann! And look at this child plant Mr. Worel got from it:

And this one! Loving that peach blush at the hafts!


And I love this one too! Note that little blue tip on the beard.


I can see using these in crosses with Tom Johnson intros with similar coloring like Howler, Power Point, and Don't Stop Believing.

Don't Stop Believing is on my wish list!

Mention of the Cadds sent me to my Santa Rosa Iris Society's monthly newsletter. I haven't
met her, but hybridizer Anna Cadd is one of the members. She's having some health problems, is in a cast
and the newsletter said she welcomes cards, emails and calls to:
329 North St.
Healdsburg, CA 95448
[email protected].

We are new members of the S.R. Iris Society - and if it wasn't so far to drive (1.5 hours each way, at night)
we'd attend some meetings. Their annual spring show this year. which was great, was our first introduction to the group.

Oh Neal -- I'm going to have to get Dance Lessons -- I love that!!! How did you find out about that Iris being the child of Holly Lane?

Yours Truly has been on my list for awhile.

I know I have at least a dozen of his Iris, but pulled out these three received in 2015.

Thank you, Tom.

Thank you, Arlyn. (I love, love, love the name of this one. )

Mary Ann, I noticed in the data base here the child plants listed- they're highlighted so you can click on them and go straight to their data base page. The whole family is so lovely!

That is so cool, Neal -- I never noticed that before. Yet another way to enjoy the database!!! Thanks for sharing that!
