Here is a pic of Kid Power, Barbalee.
I'll post more iris pics if I find any more super extreme cultivators, I'm pretty good at digging stuff up on the internet
I'm bound to find something that hasn't been mentioned yet.


Kid Power


High-Kicking Rockettes is also an interesting one



Friday Night Chat

For an example of a spoon:

An interesting curled one...Devil David

So there are a few from my collection.

And here are a couple from Superstition Iris Garden:

Don't Doubt Dalton (with spots!!)


Finish Line (with lines)


Go Berserka



As you can see there are a lot of Space Age Irises!! Good luck with your quest!

Here is another thread about Space Age Irises: The thread "Spaceage" in Irises forum

Thanks Marilyn, those are all amazing irises, I really like the spots on Don't Doubt Dalton, the lines on Finish Line, the color of Mescalero Chief, and the way the beards curl on Devil David, LOL
I might just end up buying all of those. I'm a sucker for unique oddities. Space age irises are definitely the ones which capture my heart.

Those are all amazing, Marilyn!!!

For fat fuzzy colorful and long......

Durham Dream

Marilyn - very nice pics. Glad you have one of Go Beserka. I have that one on order this year, but ordered having only seen it in one pic.

I won Go Berserka as a door prize last year. No blooms yet..

Sherry - you posted the door prizes from that meeting and that is where I saw it.

Here is one that I took a shot of yesterday. I am going to try and find out the name.


Sorry for the poor quality of pic. It was windy and it is out of focus. I liked it and wanted to share.

It's a beauty, Teresa!!

Wow, Marilyn great list with pictures. Pam, Durham Dreams is beautiful.
It's a new release, but What a beard! at Mid-America Garden is large but not pointed. They are working on larger more colorful beards at MA on the dwarfs. I like the beard on Orange Obsession (dwarf).

Pink Unicorn
Horned Sunshine

I like some of the Space Agers, but I think I like the spooned ones the best.

That said, 'Durham Dream' really is colorful, Pam. Thanks for posting! (Thanks Marilyn, for all of your pics! Such a wide variety of Space Age beard forms and presentations!)

The images below are from my first bloom on 'Purple People Eater' - the elongated and curving upright beard on the left image looks to me like a cobra or something, ready to strike!



I don't know about length , but while it has not looked like this consistently, I thought that 'Alien Mist' was well endowed on this particular day. (Sorry for the otherwise ratty bloom.)



For overall wildness (though it tends towards flounces and spoons, rather than long beards) I still like 'White Extra'.
