Awesome Alex is beautiful, Dot. That is another one I don't have. I did add Tobacco Chew to the garden last summer and it has several increases on it now.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

How lovely, Dorothy -- you have a lovely collection. And how lucky you are to have known him in person, and to be immortalized with an Iris named after you.

I certainly agree that Awesome Alex is a beauty! I planted it last season.
The horns really add to it.

I lost several that I got from him. I have ordered more from Judy Schneider who can bring them to me on the way to the iris meeting in Sept.

I have now posted 21 pictures. I may have more. I did lose two new ones that bloomed last year.

Blooming today is a new one for me that he gave me as an extra "Sailors Warning". First in the shade, then the sun. Awesome name Tom, it is like a beacon of light.

"Coal Ignition"

"Textronics"

And I got the wrong price on that sailors warning it's $10. Yeah this group of enablers has me looking again. Maybe I'll get bloom in a couple weeks and let it go awhile

After going back and looking at sailor's warning, I ended up adding it to my want list. I have taken a few other irises off the want list cause they don't interest me anymore.

That will happen a lot Richard. One year you really want it, by the next others have caught your fancy. Iris do provide a crazy amount of choices.

Hello from Texas!

Hi,
My name is Stephanie and I am new to this Burseen iris forum. I LOVE Tom's iris with all their crazy colors, beards, flounces, & whimsical names.

I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and I have over 100 of his different irises. Every year I make a want list for the newer and older ones that I don't have. I am definitely open to trading ones I have for ones I don't.

I am looking for a 'Messi Jessi', so if anyone has one that they would like to sell or trade please let me know. :)
