There are some Dykes' winners that I've tried and given up on. But there are others I could never part with because #1 their absolute beauty & #2 they aren't timid about growing and blooming here in our quirky weather. Of the ones I keep these are some favorites, but not necessarily in the order shown.
Celebration Song
Crowned Heads
Dusky Challenger
Everything Plus
Golden Panther
Hello Darkness
Jesse's Song
Queen's Circle
Song Of Norway: This is probably my favorite all-time iris of any classification; Dykes metal winner or not!
Silverado! How can anyone not like this iris? The last picture was taken just as the sunrise was breaking the horizon.
Splashacata
Stairway To Heaven
Vanity: A classic and beautiful iris from a remarkable hybridizer, the late Ben Hager!
I also grow Before The Storm which is a good strong grower here.
Brown Lasso: Grows & blooms well here.
Even a fool, when he shuts his mouth, is counted (as being) wise.Proverbs 17:28 MY BLOG
