Right in the tent and there were about 12 giant folders. I will buy many more next year, but I bet the seasons will change this this year. I plan on at least 2 trips again

Thanks for sharing all of your pictures, Gabe.

Think the Sand & Sea one is mis-named, though. The database has no picture, but describes a blue and bronze Iris...............

Yikes. I'm looking some up now and there's no pictures in iris wiki either on them I'll check my reel to see If I have the correct pic

The only pic I have seen of it has the yellow in all the same places, but more blue on the falls. It was taken in full sun so I am not sure it isn't correct. You can see the blue on the backside. All my iris that have a flush on light blue/pink/etc on the falls photograph as whitish in full sun. That said, Thelma's tags are not always reliable.

Regardless, I still like the iris currently known as Sand and Sea.

This web pic is obviously doctored alot.

My pic and my edited pic





This is why some are so difficult. I want my 2 acorns, but I can't confirm it myself

Now you got them Gabe!

Took a quick visit today. I have to run so I can't post my list at the moment. One I fell in love with and was still in bloom was Wild West Love this muddy one and ordered it

Beautiful

I'll say !! I think the "browns" are about my favorites......at least today

Oh, the daisies have companion plants now!
Thanks for going Gabe. That place could be dangerous with a site list! Not that my not going stopped me from getting a couple more....

@lestv you can come with me next year We can make sure we get different ones so we can trade.
And that way it will not look like we purchased as many

Les, I'm glad which ever one between 24 and 27 was in the alpha list. There wasn't anyway in H e double hockey stick I was attempting through that mess

I was able to meet Miss Thelma Boose herself too. Both daughters were there and we all sat and just talked for a while under the shade. Thelma then proceeded to take a nap due to our great conversation She's in great spirits, but health dwindling unfortunately. She did mention how there were a few she wanted to order this year.

She's so old school she only orders Schreiners since Cooley's closed (I'm too new, but know they bought them out). Smart lady too since she only loves the look. She waits 2 to 3 year after an introduction so they're cheaper....uh yeah, not me.

After the conversation the sisters went to deadhead the rest of spent blooms and do a little more weeding. You should have seen the monster seed pods on some of these plants. If I only knew which one of the 2,000+ varieties knocked up the mothers I would have asked for a few. I was a great and short visit. I told them no disrespect, but I ain't coming back till next year. I'll also bring a crew with me a clear a row or two of weeds next spring.

I don't have time to post the pics of buys, but here's my actual list, not all are mine...unless someone shares 1 maybe. End of season means more giveaways


And found the master master list. Next year will be easier for sure, ps @lestv , what a crazy name, right ?! I'll pass on that visual

Ha! Let's see if anyone looks at the list and figures out which one I thought was the craziest iris name!

Wbich one do you want a share of? After all you did the hard work! So jealous you got to talk with Thelma!

Certainly! I plan to make it back there for sure.

And Gabe I am willing to go help weed a row or two! Just not all 64 rows!

Bang is another great historic, although the only red one I have seen is Edenite.

There's 2 to 3 of everything except Palladium.
That's a nice sized rhizome too.

I was afraid there wouldn't be enough of it for her to sell.
