Well I will have to peruse my pictures and see what I have here. My favorites are intermediates because they are so cute and bloom early. But they don't usually do that well for me because of mild winters. But 2008 and 2010 were cold enough that I had some irises bloom for me that hadn't bloomed in YEARS. Many of them I didn't know I still had. My irises are in raised beds and due to my age now, I don't get up into the beds to try and locate stuff anymore. They spread out all over the place and it's hard knowing what is what sometimes until they bloom.

You know what, I will start a median thread, then post my favorites. I will do talls on here.

Awesome pictures everyone. I would only hope that I could go to Schreiners someday, but alas my traveling days are pretty much over.

Tom Burseen is a Texas hybridizer and many of his do well for me, I will note which ones are his.
