I'm adding on to Charlottes because I have quite a few of these! Again, these are not my pictures and I don't know why my iPad puts a copyright on them when I try to put them in a post. I'm sorry if they are your pictures. I promise I am only using them to enable others. Lol

Someone mentioned the gold edges as being Gilt. There is Gilt by Association which is hybridized by Black and was introduced last year.

I hope my Cold Fusion grows up so nice. I love all the iris you just posted Tom. The wash of colors are so fascinating, 🙌

Tom, I am interested to see how Gilt by Association blooms in your location. It is another of those "waiting to see what it REALLY looks like" Iris on my wish list. Hilarious!

Leslie,

No I don't have Talking Turkey. It is on my list as a "like to have." Thanks for the offer, but there are a lot of others I want first.

I like multi-colored Iris a lot. Received this one as a Superstition order bonus and am looking forward to seeing it.

Bold Statement is gorgeous, Debra. I am always amazed at the color range of the iris flower. Except for the 'true' red, and there are many very close, and for a really turquoise, and some of the SDB's have that now, there is almost no color or color combination that is not available to an iris loving gardener. They come in all sizes to suit everyone's garden and the form of the blooms range from antique to ultra modern space agers. I find it so hard to pick a favorite iris when I look at my garden photos. I watch this thread and decide which one I want to post and when I am perusing my iris pics I am saying oooooh and aaaah and cant decide.... or rather pick too many. sigh....
