Thank you for all those pictures about one third of which I do not recognize. I especially like Brighde and Oddbod.

I asked this on Tom's thread but is there a dwarf with the colors of Paul Black? I love the orange contrasting beards!

I don't grow Mordor but it is on the top of my want list.

Mordor comes from Mid America, they introduced it. Mine is ready to open, but with the temp at 30 degrees this morning, I'm not sure what I'll find out there this morning.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Thanks, Tom. I wonder if there will be a group buy from Mid America this year? I would love to see their fields in bloom. It is on my bucket list

I sure hope your little bloom made it Tom.

Teresa, you will see some photos of the Oregon gardens this winter when things get slow here. One of our members spent last week there taking photos.

I am on the board now. Been a long cool spring here in Northern Michigan. Have a couple of SDB's that are blooming that I got from Tom last summer....thanks again
Also, got a new camera I am playing with. The colors are more true and not washed out along with the detail being more crisp than my old point and shoot.

Ken, I am so glad the weather has allowed your irises to begin the spring show. I am looking forward to your photos.

We have an iris in the SDB size range that opened today. It's tagged as one of Marilyn's seedlings. It's from a long time back. We apparently selected it but neither of us remembers it. It's very nice but I don't want it to turn out that we mixed it up with a named iris somewhere along the line.

Does this look familiar to anyone?
