Jan, you need to jump in your car and drive down, the show is going on, lol you're only an hour away, and you can see which ones you want to get in person! lol
Lucy, it's funny how some iris really look great individually, but don't make a very pretty clump, others are not that special as an idividual, but make a really pretty clump, and of course, some have it all, and look great both ways. Kind of like people, some work better alone, and others are good team players, and some can do both!
Mary Ann, don't you dare dump your beautiful irises, I have finally become able to discard some once in a while, to make room for one I like better. It's hard, but I have too many beds to keep making new ones. I have 23 acres here, so if I got rid of the horses, I'd have time and space to make more beds, Man I'm sick!
Aruba, Yes the cold nights seem to slow things down, the blooms seem to last longer too. I thought Sutton had the most impressive new entroductions last year of anyone. I ended up buying 8 of them, they had a good deal where if you bought 4 they gave you 4 more, and they gave me all that I suggested. It looks like 5 of them will bloom this year, but one of them had the bloom stalk frozen, and the flowers are not formed well. I still have a bunch of pics to take off my camera and post. Will do that after I have a few more cups of coffee!
