I think my favorite clump there was Midnight Tocatta. I made a huge oversight by not inviting one along for the drive to my home. Hilarious! This one is definitely going on my wishlist!

The infamous Stan Coates was also putting on a nice display...don't know why I didn't get a 'clump shot'.

I ordered 'Stolen Sweets' from Superstition. It is one of Paul Black's irises. I am glad that you all had a great time.
