I'm am looking forward to seeing this one, which I have on order from Mid America:

Oh boy...Capt. Thunderbolt is back stealing my heart again!

Teresa, I got 'Daring Deception' after seeing it bloom at Mid-America last year. They still have it in stock this spring for $10. It was blooming half size the year before at Schreiner's display garden too. I like my TB's to be big apparently.

Blooming half size?? Do you mean short? The pics are so nice, I am hoping it is a good grower!

Tom, Does Oxford Countess grow well for you? It's a beautiful flower, but somewhere I got the impression that it is not terribly vigorous. Could be wrong, of course.

Oxford Countess is a slow but steady grower here. Not making a really large clump yet, but usually blooms, and it's fertile.

Tom,

Teresa, some iris blooms are about seven inches tall like my hand then due to different conditions they are small. Yuck! I bought my avatar at Schreiner's in a pot and it was huge blossomed. When it bloomed in my yard last spring it had small blossoms. A hard freeze hit the pregnant fans is my hypothesis. If it happens this spring I will move it to a colder spot to encourage it to wait on the blossoms.

Ok, I thought you meant the stalk. It was the bloom size then.

Theresa.. Here is my top 10 for the year they all survived the winter and should bloom in my back yard excited to work with them..
