Thanks Ladies,
I have so many, many pictures dating back over the years. Sometimes I forget that I had an iris or other perennial until I see in my pictures. At least I have them on (digital) film if not for real!

And your photos are great, Leon. Next best to real.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

This was another picture which illustrates how quick a grower it is and its spread.

*Igrivy Rebionok - This one is a beauty.
*Jiansada - Blyth
*Little Bird - this is a Lowell Baumunk iris registered in 2010. One this new should be available somewhere.
*Master of Chocolate - Pietek
*Minosse - Bianco 2007
*Minute Angel
*Olives and Umber - Blyth

*Pesky - another Crump iris. Somewhere there has got to be a collector of this American Hybridizers irises. A family member perhaps. Wish they would offer them for sale.
*Priwall - this one is offered on the Rainbow Iris Garden website but i have inquired each year and it is not available so far.
*Robin's Nest - this one also offered by Rainbow Iris Garden. So far no luck acquiring it.
*Rock Goblin - Blyth 2012. Perhaps it will make it to the U.S. someday.
*Terse Verse - see above.
*Witches Toes - Blythe see above above.

*Yat Rock - Another Niswonger. A lovely gentleman to communicate with but still have not found any of his earlier little guys.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

I left out Brownie Boy and it is at the top of my list of CAN'T FIND IT/GOTTA HAVE IT irises.

A friend sent this photo. But we do not know where it originated.

It is an MDB and along with MDB Spot of Tea has been unattainable.

Bonnie, I added all your "hard to find" irises (except 'Spot of Tea') to the list. I hope we can collectively find some of these for you during this year's club sales!

Lilli, I added an EU list.

Scott!

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Sirocco Mist')
Uploaded by Totally_Amazing
not that old of an iris, but a most wanted one. Country Delight Iris had it, now I'm just hoping they reopen next year.
If anyone has it and wants to trade (or sell) please contact me.

Detective Scott, if you find Sirocco Mist (Blyth) I'll nominate you for Detective of the year!

I have Hell's Gate and it has increased enough to send you a piece. I am interested in others of Denise's introductions myself.
@iciris

I just planted a small rhizome of Sirocco Mist this year, a trade with a local grower. It may take a couple of years to increase enough, but I have noted you want it.

I am looking for:

Brighde - Stewart 2012
Carmel Topping - Stewart 2010
Celtic Fairie - Stewart 2012
Feeforin - Stewart 2015
Myra's Child - Greenlee 1971
Poplyte - Stewart 2011
Rosemary's Dream - Dunderman 1982
Tanzanite - Marky Smith 2006 Lost mine

I can find the Stewart varieties and Tanzanite listed by Tara Perennials in Southern Ontario. But I can't find on their website if they mail to the US, but I doubt it.

I may be able to help with Caramel Topping and Brighde. Remind me in a couple of months please. By then they should be coming into peak form.

I also have Brighde, last year I shared a lot of it, but I'll write your name by it also. Charlotte, thank you so very much for the future share of Sirocco Mist.
