Hello Javamom.
I am also in Fort Worth TX. I have been growing irises since 1984. I used to belong to the local iris society. I don't go to meetings anymore, I'm older now and don't get out much anymore. But I still have lots of irises. I hope to get someone to help me weed next week. My iris gardens are overwhelmed.
I have a new one blooming today that was a gift from Tom Burseen. He is a Texas hybridizer who lives in Grand Prairie, Tx.
"Sailors Warning" by Tom Burseen. It looked pretty good after a downpour on it last night.
Also blooming from Tom is "Beat the Heat". I have had it for a very long time.
