You should, you gave some to me a couple of years ago. This is Wild West looking much nicer than the rain soaked version! Planted it in my front yard this year.

I really do need to add thanks for sending me some Gabe.

I need a lot of these irises....

I love the irises and the id process is great fun to watch too!

Lilli - since there are so many iris at Thelma's that are becoming rare I feel the need to get as many ID'd and into databases as possible. There are some real beauties there. This year we skipped taking pics of some of the blooms because she has so many that are similar in color. For example - she must have 80 or 90 copper colored iris, and even more purple and white plicatas. It was becoming too much deja vu.

Well, as mentioned earlier, I think you are doing a great job!

80-90 copper coloured irises? Be still my heart!

Pretty amazing but yes, she had tons of them.

80-90....wow. I am sure you were like "Really? Another one? It's still pretty and I will buy it too...but really?"

Purple/white plicatas? "379.....380.....381....382...383! That's all of them!....Nevermind. 384."

That was exactly what we were thinking.

The sheer number is also why you have seen Gabe and I post on occasions "oh, another purple and white plicata.". It became a running joke after our first Thelma visit.
