I could be at this red iris thing until I go to my grave -- haha

dimson67! is that your own hybrid in the picture you posted?

you'll have much fun and laughter if you stick around with this group on the iris forum. tell us what your zone is and the general area of the country or world you live in, as we'll be able to help with more information should you have questions in the future.

hang on to your hat, spring bloom is just around the corner for most of us and the pictures of the irises will knock your socks off (and your hat).

Welcome dimson! Yes, please tell us about yourself!

@dimson67 to the Iris Forum! Stick around and tell us about yourself!

I'm really looking forward to the blossoming of the irises to blow my hat off.

Thank you so much.

You are welcome!

@dimson67 I'm enjoying the pictures you are putting into the data base. Love Juan Valdez! Where can one get that? Is it a good grower, some of the orange ones are poor growers.

Yes! I like Juan Valdez as well!

Tom, I'm glad that you liked my photos.You are right, the orange-brown irises do not grow very well.I am in the 4th zone, and the flowering of the irises depends on what the winter was.Of the orange-brown irises, Juan Valdez grows well.Unfortunately, I do not know where you can buy it.

There needs to be a few more really ruffly orange irises, IMHO, that one sure has some nice ruffles for the time period it was developed.

I found Juan Valdez on TBIrisFinder.com. It is available at C and T Iris Patch:

Hi noticed Juan Valdez too, it's very eye-catching. Dimson, looks like you know your way around a camera, great photography skills. Tom, I thought the same thing... that's a lot of ruffles for the early 90s.
