Have some new ones open yesterday and today.

Teagan:







Ahwahnee Princess - a really pretty pale pink

Fairy Berry. I am not crazy about the very open standards, but the color is just lovely. Even better in person.

Yummy Accent decided to really open up.

Irish Harp opened a bloom today. I didn't even know it was ready! I really like the veining on the brown background. It is even prettier than I expected.

I especially like it from the top view.




Pokemon also opened (thanks Tom!). This one is really photogenic.

And Pokémon is an MDB I think. It is doing well for you. So many people will not try the MDB's because they think they cannot grow them. It is just finding the right one and then the right place for it. It is lovely, Leslie.

Leslie those are so pretty! I really love Teagan. I got it as a bonus from Winterberry last year and I'm even more excited about it after seeing yours

Most of my irises are tall bearded except cats eyes and ninja turtles. With seeing everyone's pictures here I am getting into dwarfs (sdb I guess they are also called) I like intermediary (hope that's correct). Can anyone suggest a good source for the dwarfs. Thanks.

Richard - Winterberry has a treasure trove of dwarf iris! So does Mid-America, but they are slightly more expensive. I can tell you though that you currently own two of the fastest growing dwarfs in my garden!

Liz - I love Teagan too. This is it's first year blooming. I love green iris, and the blue is really lovely with the green hafts.

Thanks Bonnie. Your Pokemon is quite a stunner too. Mine seems big for an MDB, but then I have SDB's that never get as big as they should, so why knock a miniature if it wants to grow taller!

Leslie, I got them from you last year.

Richard I have a whole bunch of them that will need new homes next year. Keep in touch.

I will Tom. If you have want let.me.know and we can maybe see about a swap.

Remember ISM will have a few dwarf for sale at the show in May 30. They will have finished blooming, of course.

Yay! Any of yours Lucy?

Richard - I know, but it is true. If you saw my clumps of those two you would never know any were divided last year! In a year you may have a whole bunch to trade. And Tom's dwarfs are worth their weight in gold. All of them that I have grow like crazy. Both Yummy Accent and Pokemon (that I posted pics from above) are from him.

I am not sure. I will have to see how bloom goes.

The Iris Whisperer has a lot of MDBs & SDBs and other medians. Then there is Chuck Chapman, Mid-America, Winterberry, Aitken's Salmon Creek (listed under S in our vendor list) and Blue J has a collection, These are just the ones I am using this year.

Good to know Mary Ann. I am going to need to get a whole lot of beds ready. Not only for what I have in the yard now but whats ordered and what Ill get for postage between now and next year.

I only have one dwarf but it will be awhile before bloom here. We had snow flurries yesterday. I can say that it sure has increased though. Probably will get a lot of blooms from it this year.

PERSONA

Cindy, it is good to see folks growing the MTB's. That is a beautiful one too.

Thanks Bonnie. I sure would love to grow more of them but my space is very limited with the 300 plus daylilies I have.
