For me, Salem is gonna be in Iowa this year. Praying I can get there!!!
Well -- you won't hear me saying this very often -- but my favorite of this group is the purple Iris, #1R. I think this Iris is exquisite -- elegant, ruffled beauty. And I love the lavender stripe down the center of the fall.
I also admire 7L -- but hope that the standards are tighter for the most part. I do not like floppy standards.
The two white Irises are beautiful, but I don't see anything in them that is an improvement over Nordica, which I already have. Maybe if I saw them in person.............
With all of these beautiful Irises that Brad has shown us, I'm at the point now where I'm trying to just figure out which ones I would actually spend money on to have in my garden. Otherwise, I'd just have them all!!!
