I was considering "Out Walkin" from PNW sale (i think that is where it was) and noticed that it was a "small flower type" based on the few pictures I saw of it. This was something which caught my interest.

Tom, I love Awake Lovey dubby .
Teresa, if I only had seen I'm All Shook Up in person. I wouldn't Have spent so much to order it this year. Most of the flowers were large at Mid-America yesterday, but not that one. I will at least still enjoy its coloration. Sometimes it must different conditions because Daring Deception wasn't large at Schreiner's last year but gorgeous at M-A. Just Witchery looked nicer at Schreiner's though.

Same bloom same camera yet the first one looks like the right color, and the last one looks too blue.

It's an interesting color, but poorly shaped.

Beautiful iris, but the worst dedication....ever! Glare

I'm loving the little beauties! Thumbs up

I sure wish the database for Iris would have a bloom size listed. I ordered mine a couple yrs ago from the PNW sale. Will there be one this yr?

I'm sure there will be. If I remember right it's held in mid-September.

Niki, I have I'm All Shook Up and it's not a small bloom. About average size here. I like it a lot. (Pictures from last summer)

Tahoma Bloomed a few days ago, but the first blooms were messed up by rain. A new one opened today. Thanks Bonnie. Smiling

It's Not Over opened today as well. The first picture is pretty accurate for color, the second is too blue. One taken just after the other. Go figure!
