Nope, I chose to get rid of Hold My Hand, and I have lost interest in Honky Tonk Blues, but thanks for the offer.

I have to make room for a "few" new ones.

Apparently temping fate and I have parted ways.

If anyone has a rhizome of temping fate to share I would be more then happy to share in return something also!

This one was supposed to be Wearing Rubies, but wasn't so it got the boot.

White Hot. I know a lot of people like this one, but it just didn't do it for me.

Wise Wish, I think I got rid of it this time, it was a really big clump so I missed some last time I culled it and it came back.

Wise Wish didn't want to leave you Tom..................

Batik was given to me by someone -- and I was dreading seeing it bloom. You know how I feel about broken colors. When it did finally bloom, it was something else! Yay! I did a happy dance!!

Color Tart. I didn't like how the blooms didn't last long on this one.

Now you stumped me with Chickasaw Sue -- I love that Iris, I've had it for a long, long time -- and people are always asking me for a rhizome or two.

Before the Storm. I shared this one down too far! Thought I had one rhizome left, but turned out I didn't.

Color Tart is one that I have mixed feelings about. I never noticed how long the bloom lasts..........

I wish the colors were as bright as that picture, but in real life I didn't like the colors.

That's strange. Mine are not that bright. Mine are browner -- more of a brick red. Mine is planted in Iris Lane, under a Redbud tree. The branches are not thick on my Redbuds -- they're old, and starting to fail. But maybe the shade offered makes a difference in the color of Chickasaw Sue.
