My wish lists typically arise from garden spots where color is lacking during Iris season, or a garden area has expanded and of course needs Irises Smiling Next years project is joining 2 beds to create a shrub and perennial border around the front yard, where I'll use a lot of bright, clear colors that will show off from a distance.

The Irises that keep drawing my attention are those that give the illusion of being lit from within, have bright flashes and beards, and offer lots of contrast. Here's a list of some with those qualities, but I'm not so concerned with obtaining specific named varieties, just several with similar color combinations and brightness.
1.Having a Party
2.Intoxicating
3.Exotic Notions
4.Backlit Beauty
5.Jennifer Rebecca
6.Expect Wonders
7.Revision
8.Saturn
9.Secret Recipe
10.Strut your Stuff
11.Spring Bliss
12.Tango Express
13.Teeny Bopper
14.Entangled
15.Matters of the Heart
16.Die Laughing
17.Enough is Enough
