We lost our Giggles & Grins, but I was able to order it from Dee's sale last year.
I hope this seedling blooms again next year.

Giggles and Grins is really cute.

That is a pretty seedling Lucy. What big fat fans leaves you get too! Maybe it is a heat thing, but mine are never that full.

Barbara, I agree. Got it from Dee's sale last year. It was a goldmine for dwarf irises.

Thanks Brad

Magic Happens just went on my list.

Merlot is a pretty thing! Magic Happens, what is it about those striped iris!

I don't know, but I love them and I'm drawn to everyone of them.

Someone asked about putting them in the plant list. Only registered irises should be put there.

Neal, I never thought I'd hear you utter those words...Get the smelling salts... I feel faint!

One that's huge, very leafy, and on pace I'm really looking forward to.

Sherry! I think I'm just giving in to the fact that I'm a complete iris pig, there's just no denying it anymore.

Neal, LOL, a friend of mine calls himself an iris slut....... he says as long as it has three standards and three falls he will follow it down any alley.

Gabe, I think Fancy Woman is a luminata. It is a rapidly growing color class of irises that are simply beautiful. Lucy tells us that when they first hybridized them they were called 'fancy irises'. They are still pretty fancy looking to me.

No need to get so Dramatic(o) about it!!!

It is! Noticed it's in quite a few commercial crosses too. I have some good increases on it so maybe, if a bloom, I'll try a a cross with it. I guess she'll have to be the pod parent to inherit her dominance.

Iris nation seems to think the pod parent works more on the PLANT & the flower genetics especially comes from both parent. Unless no choice for example I would not use a poor grower like Starship Enterprise as a pod parent.

Some Earlys that I am hoping will be early.

Abbey Chant (Sutton)



Blue Oasis (Tasco) After the December stalk, I am hoping I get a 'normal' bloom time stalk this year.



Forever Blue (Chapman)



Heaven's Reply (Blyth) Just got these rhizomes from the Iris Sisters/cassiechug November ebay sales and they are doing so well, I might actually see blooms this year. Have to plug Iris Sisters' customer service, again, too.



Hollywood Lights (Johnson)



Platinum Jubilee (Ghio) Was run over last year by someone who managed to jumb the curb right at my driveway. It ignored the tire-squashed foliage, gave the driver a chin flick, and kept on chugging.



Reddy Set (Burton)



Triplicate (Weiler)

I should have ordered Miss Mauve......

I think I will do I's before the weekend starts:

1) Dee's I Know You that I can't find a picture for. | 2) I Wuv Woses that I posted before



(Thanks)

There will need to be a part 2. Lot's of iris start with the letter I it appears.
