Hee Rob. Have to agree. Wow.

I got about a billion last year compared to ever before. I need to decide the best way to break down the ones I am most eager to see. I may have to do it by classification. Will get back to you. My kitty is knocking the door for her dinner. Goofball.

Don't know if I will get bloom this year, but I am looking forward to seeing these Biancos. Most do not have photographs in the database... yet. Whistling

Hurray! I got Confusion, Romanza, and Stile Libera also. Will have to look at my lists to see what else I'm looking forward to.

As most of my iris did not bloom last year, I am looking forward to any and all of them blooming! Hilarious!

That said, I am particularly anxious to see bloom on two unlabeled pots, and on an 'Outrageous Fortune' which I got off of eBay, but which never bloomed for me.

In the case of NOID #1, I am hoping that it is the missing unnamed space age seedling which was sent to me by mistake. In the case of NOID #2, the pot HAD a stake in it, but the label is missing, so either it is some legitimate cultivar (I had multiple pots of some things), or else it is a 'Sweet Orange Spice' (from a replacement shipment; and my one engraved label for that has gone missing too) or yet another NOID from the same mistaken batch. (My first order of 3 'Sweet Orange Spice' instead turned out to be NOIDs, judging by the contents of two of the three pots; the third hadn't bloomed, and with all the confusion here may have died.)

In the case of 'Outrageous Fortune', I bought that one for DH years ago but sometime during the mass landscaping confusion it either got sucked down and eaten by gophers or else died. This particular one from eBay was meant to be a replacement plant; I am hoping it is indeed the correct plant (eBay not having the most sterling reputation when it comes to plants). Thumbs down


(I remember it being rather more purple than the ATP images... Confused )
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom

In historics:
I've gone through 2 Springs now where 'Pretty Pansy' should have bloomed.. I'm hoping our funky weather the past two years was the problem.


I waited 2 years for 'Jungle Shadows to bloom, only to find it was mislabeled. I'm hoping I've got it now!


Also looking forward to:
