SDB Indian Beauty: Daphne had mentioned an iridescent Iris last week. And I told her I had actually experienced an Iridescent affect on an Iris. I wasn't sure which one though. It was this one. That white steak was truly Iridescent looking.


SDB Tu Tu Turquoise: The color on this Iris is never short of spectacular. Before I was introduced to the Iris world (ok for me that was this Forum), I never dreamed there could be an Iris this color.

SDB Snow Peas: Snow Peas has very bad chimera and form problems for me. On the plus side, at least it blooms every year.

SDB Stop and Stare: First, thank you so much Dirt!!! I am extra thankful after seeing it grow. This Iris just kept blooming and blooming and blooming , right on through TB Season. And it was a 1st year Iris. I saw Paul Black get an award for this and all I could think is that he absolutely deserves this award. It is very pretty but it's the growing habits that astound me most. I hope it continues to grow like this in future years.


SDB Toy Boat: I fell madly and deeply in love. Just look at all that green.

SDB Voldy's Mink: Thank you for this as well Dirt. It reminded me much of Cat's Eye but different enough they are both worth keeping.


One of Kent's Seedlings: Here is one of Kent's seedlings that he was generous enough to gift me with as a bonus. This is a very strong grower and heavy bloomer this 1st year and what I most loved about this Iris is the bloom form. I thought the form was pretty much perfect. But another redeeming quality is the flowers would really vary in size from regular SDB size to very tiny but regardless of the size, the form and everything else stayed exactly the same. It was as if it had little Minnie Me blooms. Hope you introduce it Kent.

TB Granderilla: So not only is this Iris beautiful but it grew the biggest clump in one Season I have every seen. It was ginormous. Plus it literally started blooming with the SDB's and ended at the tail end of TB Season. What a beast.
