I was just starting a very small list of must haves from Superstition. Guess which 2 I have on my list? Maggine Beth and Eye For Style!....and then I read this post. WAAAAhhhh!

I need chocolate!

Of this group*, I would go after in order (where cost was not a concern lol):

Maggie Beth
Birthday Bash
Mad World


* I have the other two already!

I know a girl whose very first iris she pre-ordered was Maggie Beth.... And is now doing a happy dance that she did! Maybe the rhizome will come with lots of increases so it can be shared soon. Those Burseens do like to grow!

Mid-America has both Maggie Beth and Mad World, so snatch them up quickly when they open for the season! I know I'm kicking myself for waiting on Maggie Beth, plus Superstition was offering it for $7 cheaper than Mid-America is...

You can always get Mad World from the Painters over at their site - Napa Iris as well!

Oh yes I forgot about Napa, which is funny because I ordered my Mad World this season from them haha

Breezeway had Maggie Beth for $10 last season. I've never ordered from them, but they open in May.

Ghio will undoubtedly have 'Birthday Bash' available.

A newly updated "Sold Out" list posted this evening:

Dusky Challenger

Glad I have Dancin' Fool now too.

Dusky Challenger is popular! Wow.

The AIS bulletin listed Dusky Challenger rated #1 in the popularity poll. It first reached #1 in 1993, replacing Beverly Sills. A couple of years later Silverado moved into first place, but the next year DC was back at #1 and has rated #1 every year since. In photos it does appear to be a great iris, but being "another purple iris" I hadn't paid much attention to it. Now I'm wanting to grow it to see for myself what all the fuss is about!

I have a Dusky He-Man in my garden, that hasn't bloomed yet. Son of Dusky Challenger., which I may have lost.
It wasn't planted in a very good spot.

Walmart has fake dusky challeger, fake dangerous mood, and some others now

I have Dusky Challenger. It's been a nice steady increaser. Here are 2 photos from last spring, but my camera filter (which was supposed to be color neutral) made it a little more yellow than it should be. It's natural is a deeper blue violet.

I have it as well. I do not think of it as #1 or even close to that. It is nice, but....................

I would think something more dramatic, or pink, would be number one, but then people really really love purple iris.

Here are two more irises that are sold out at Supertition Iris Gardens:

ADD 2 more to the SOLD OUT list as of today (Feb 18): Midnight Passion-TB, Starwoman-IB

Here is the latest sold out list posted today:

Updated SOLD OUT list. Be alerted that we cut our planting area by 17% this year, so we will have more and faster sell-outs this year due to less stock planted. Don't delay
