Barbalee - Maypearl was a mid to late bloom. I am behind in posting at this point.

Ken - I think The Shady Spot still has Caribbean Cruise. Can't remember if Breezeway has it. Bit expensive still at Wild Iris Rows.

Teresa, that is probably her. She goes by Raggsnriches. Lorinda is her first name, I believe, and she is in KY.She gets a lot of high bidding, but I sneak a few in here and there at a reasonable price.

Ken - Shady Spot has a lot of nice iris. Lots of Burseens, but a wide range of others too. Big Grin

I really liked this one. The blooms are large and velvety. The only problem was that it's very thick stalks break easily in high wind (I had the same problem with Blackbird Landing - both first year blooming). So I had to take the broken stalk inside - where it gave me a really nice bloom and a really nice chimera. Best of both worlds I guess. Blinking
