Tom ~ I just checked tbfinder and
it shows that Keith Keppel has it in stock.

I had checked it too, but Keith Keppel isn't selling any Blyth irises this year. That's an old page I guess?

Tom, I sent a message to Judy to see if she has it, or knows where to find it for you.

Thanks, I didn't see it on here website.

She grows many that are not listed, plus she is active in the local Iris societies, so she has contacts that might help. She found Police Stories for me in a local garden.

Sorry I mislead you. I should have checked the website.

Tom ~ As I was going through my database, I see that I have ordered Butterfly Affair from Stout. Apparently they have sold out, as it isn't in their list currently. If you are not able to find it, I will share when it gets up to size.
I have put a note on it.

I am surprised that Robin Shadlow doesn't have it since it is not that old of a Blyth. She may be growing stock of it since she got most of Keith's iris when he decided to cut back. Stout's isn't carrying it this year either. I wonder if it is a slow grower?

thanks for that info leslie. i will keep that in mind when i'm trying to find some old blyth's.

Thanks Evelyn, if I can wait that long. I'm so impatient

I understand.

Tom, I've added Butterfly Affair to the list and I will keep an eye out for it too!

*Adoring Glances - is a hard to find iris i would like. It is a Niswonger but he no longer grows his older varieties.
*Alsterquelle - I think this is a German iris. Why cant we get irises from Germany?
*Baby Barn Owl - This is one from England but from Sissinghurst Castle and not a more widely known vendor. (Sissinghurst may not be a vendor.... I should probably go and check it out )
*Baby Brown Eyes
*Barnstormer - want this one for the name
*Blue Eyed Elf. This is a Crump iris and they are getting increasingly hard to find.
*Cincilla - a Bianco
*Coffee Boy - Blythe
*Derive - really, really, really want this one.
*Frosted Angel - Timothy Blyth.
*Groovy Grubworm - everyone needs this one.
*Hell's Gate - this is a Denise Stewart. Does anyone know who sells her irises since the Iris Whisperer closed?
*Hobgoblin - keeps the fairies and gnomes away.
*Hussy - in remembrance of a family member... i mean, a very sweet little iris.

These are all SDB's... but thats no surprise. I wish the little ones were more widely grown. We would not lose so many of them.

edited to add - this is only thru H. I will post a few more that i must find later.

Bonnie, I have Cincilla and Derive. Wish I could share them.

I really want Rust Never Sleeps and countless others which are available in the US but not here.

picture this guy crying and wailing.....

I will be waiting for pictures, Lilli.

That is another one that got away from me. Sometime back in 2004 I let "serious" iris people dig their own rhizomes. Some how this one came up MIA. Dave sent it to me along with a handwritten order I think in 2003. Now I have a policy "no more self-digging".

Good policy, Leon. Sweet photo of Adoring Glances. Sorry it does not grow in your garden anymore.

You and me both, Bonnie!

Leon, I'm sorry you lost AG, it's such a charming little iris.
