What a lot of beauties, Lyn!
In fact, I think 'Stan Coates' and 'Smoke and Thunder' need to go on my want list...
Oh! Turns out 'SaT' is on there already!
I had a good bloom season this year, but the ones that stood out for me were:
TBI 'Guatemala' (Thomas Johnson 2005) with TBI 'Eugenia King' and other friends. (It's 'Guatemala' on the right and the picture was taken in full sun.)
TBI 'Lenten Prayer' (Schreiner 1998) (Picture was taken in shade)
IBI 'Langport Storm' (Kelways 1995) (Also in shade)
SDB 'Lilli White' (W. Welch 1958) I realise that historics often grow better than modern irises and SDBs are usually good growers here, but I still think that is pretty good for a first year bloom!
