I fell in love with Joe Ghio's Emblematic because of the
salmon falls and bright white standards


Another of Joe's confections is Love of Life- ( I like pinks!)


Tom Johnson's Center Line has so much going for it!
A pale yellow, verging on pink with stylish fine purple lines,
and an orange beard!

My Point of No Return unfortunately went to the point of no return. Crying I am going to try again this year. It looks so fantastic.

Favorite color? It keeps changing, but I love all the bright crazy ones, and I love reds.

I love blends that include yellow... and what do you call this color? Violet? Crimson?

Among my favorites that bloomed last Spring was 'Rainbow High'.. I did a little happy dance when this bloomed (think Snoopy dancing over supper)


I added 'Beam Me Up Scotty' as 'Starship Enterprise' has not bloomed after 2 years.. Beam Me up etc is a child of Starship.


Lucky to get these two this past year.. One from Tom and one from our picnic..

Yellow and white together are my happy colors..

I think I literally applauded the day I first saw this open for the first time.


'Smart Money' hasn't shown the dark veining that I see in many of your pictures.. Just a hint.. Perhaps next year..


Add a blue beard, and I'm in heaven..
I moved 'Sarah Taylor' from my old house.. Thanks to Pam, I added 'Truple Whammy ' this year


Looking forward to 'Fallalery', 'Hoss', 'Alpine Harmony', and a few others this coming Spring.

Carnival Capers is one of the most beautiful irises in my opinion. Wish it were a better grower here though. I love the blended colors.

Enchanter is gorgeous. I wonder if I have that one. Haven't been able to upload my database yet -- this computer does not have Microsoft Works on this computer. I've got the Works disc -- but for some reason, it won't upload correctly. Sigh................. Sad

Mary Ann - that is Microsoft's way of getting you to buy it again. A lot of older programs won't upload on the new Windows platforms. I had that problem with Photoshop, and some programs at work.

Beam Me Up Scotty has horns too! And love Carnival Capers Tom.

I seem to be attracted to the tawny cream iris as I added a few last year, such as:





And little brown and whites:

Mary Ann, I know I sent you Enchanter a while back, so you should have it.

Sherry, I agree with you about That's All Folks. While I don't
usually like an intense yellow, the white in the falls softens
it.. Combined with its huge blossom, it's a favorite.
