Gosh this is tough! I only purchased 6 new ones this year from a couple of club sales, but got some awesome ones. Of those I'm so hyped to see Don't Stop Believing!


Those purchased were a mere drop in the bucket though- awesome, generous ATP enablers set me up with loads of newbies!
Of the rhizomes Bonnie shared, I'm most excited to see Ballerina Girl.

And of the amazing bunch from Tom I'm super excited to see Beacon of Light!


Being a huge fan of historics and IBs too, I'm looking very forward to seeing Fantastic Blue from Arlyn!


Then there was the huge surprise box from Brad- tough to even choose among those! I think Center Line is the one from that bunch I'm most stoked about. Thomas Johnson I think is my favorite hybridizer- so often I find myself drawn to his creations without even knowing who developed it.


Been wanting Paul Black for some time, and received a beautiful fat rhizome of that one (among several others) from Rob. You can't call this just a purple iris!
