Thanks is Mary Ann.

And yes Caitlin, it really is Delirium. The standards became more yellowish with the later blooms. As far as I know there isn't really any other iris with that fall pattern and coloring.

Art Festival - this was it's first year blooming. Was really happy with the staying power of the blooms.

Really like the rounded form too.


Okay - this one is cute as the Dickens and I was really looking forward to seeing it. Then it rained the whole time it was in bloom! Wah!

My MTB seedling (sort of in its wild state) which was just voted 2nd runner up at AIS convention. I am really set up & people kept coming up to me & saying how much they liked it at convention this past weekend. It was carefully planted in a weedless area in the garden which is now full of grass. Seedling L-03-MY-rust. The MY doesn't spell anything, just turned out that way.

One of the nice BBs at convention was George Sutton's 'Blueberry Trail.'

yes I hope to introduce my rust seedling. Name first & in Oct plants will be sent to Ginny Spoon for a look. I will be getting plants back from the convention. You need about 50 of the medians to have enough to introduce. Many more for TBs. I didn't have my camera charged so Rick Tasco from Superstition & another friend from NE took photos for me. Iris people are nice.
