Alright I have been growing iris for 20 years since my grandmother died over time my tastes have changed a lot I've grown arils arilbred Japanese Siberian spuria ibs sdbs Bb and TB they all have their virtues today l grow a lot of talls and arilbred the rest have gone all the flowers here are wonderful bet let me lead you a moment please
Arilbred
Babylonian fires
Energizer
Gideons lamp
Mohr pretender
And genetic artist are a few recent and older cultivars that are weeds as well as gorgeous
Talls
Surprised me no one mentioned
Wintry sky
Slovak prince
Blueberry bliss
Happenstance
Trip to bountiful
Could I have only 12 iris
2 talls
2 arilbred
2 Japanese
2 SDB
2 spuria
2 Siberian
As this would give the longest bloom season
All bearded would probably be rebloomers known to rebloom in my own zone
Hope it helps because 12 is just out of the question there are around 350 talls BBs and arilbred and experiencing the worst losses have ever had in the last two screwed up seasons used to have over 1000 named 134 arilbred I was told I couldn't grow here last season lost perhaps 60 join your local club get your iris from them I am arilbred ( Randall Dixon Rockford) if you really want to see the beauty of these mentioned see me Facebook page photos they are much better than either plant database although occasionally they are their as well I no longer add photos to any database when I started finding them elsewhere neither came from here or ais photobucket and all those clouds will use your photos
