Lots of beauties noted so far!

I have several that I am waiting to see, both from last fall's plantings and a few from a year ago that have not bloomed yet.

Probably near the top of my Can't Hardly Wait For list would be
Lemon Berry Burst

And Mango Queen

You all are KILLING me! Haven't even finished off my "Wanted" list and I'm having to add to it!!!

I'm really looking forward to working with Kieth's Plicata's in the spring and mixing pollen on all of these the new patterns he has coming from these are amazing.

Fire Danger & Desert Trails


Vista Pointe & Margin Call


Dark Energy & High Desert

Oooooooouuuuuuh! I see interesting seedlings in your future, Brad!

I'm looking forward to seeing all of these myself, although I have seen High Desert in a slightly damaged way from the storm. It's a great grower, and I used some pollen from it on Super Hero and have 4 seeds. Hope they grow.

Since it didn't bloom in it's first year, I am really eager to see this one bloom!



Chose this picture because I have seen the falls both lighter (front) and darker (back left) in other pictures and wonder if the color fades as the bloom gets older. It is pretty either way in my book.

Hi all! I was visiting family for a few days and am catching up.

Last year was the first year that I purchased irises from a true iris vendor, so I too have a lot that I'm really looking forward to. My budget was small, there are a lot of "classics" out there, and I seem to be more attracted to colors and color combinations than the flower forms of many of the modern varieties. Here are a couple I'm looking forward to:

'Maple Treat', TB, Brown 1995
The color seems so rich and unique to me.


'Trans-Orange', TB, Niswonger 1999
Orange amenoas are probably my second favorite color/pattern combo. I know there are stronger orange amenoas out there (and I have a couple ), but Trans-Orange was the first one I saw and fell in love with. I hope it meets expectations.


I'll post more later, but I need to start wrapping gifts and will need to shovel soon... snow is beginning to accumulate!

as well! Brad's seedlings always make me gasp.

I was going to say this one, but then I realized I'll be getting the rhizome in 2018 (from TBMAN). I've wanted this Iris since the first time I saw this picture.

Another one I'm looking forward to is:

And this one too:

Those are all so pretty Barbara

• Arilbred Iris (Iris 'Perry Dyer')

Elegant and classy- gotta love it! No love for the littles people? My list is too extensive to post I fear...

I have lots of love for the littles! I'm looking forward to every single little I got from mid-america last season but no pics in the database to drool over

ALL exciting and beautiful finds, barbara.

Like Liz, I have quite a few iris I am really looking forward to that have no database pictures.

A BB I am really looking forward to is Blyth's Mandrake:

Another one I am looking forward to is one my sister got for me from Claire Austin (UK) this year:


It has been on my must-have list for a while, so I hope it will look just as good IRL as it does in pictures.

Is it doing well for you Liz?
