janwax said:I've been exploring the iris database and have established that I have
more Blyth iris (60) , out of more than 300 cultivars,than any othe rhybridizers'. However, I also noticed that Blyth, of Tempo Two, has
no awards listed here - and I think that's because he's Australian.
The awards are for Americans, I think? So Blyth is left out - EXCEPT for Adoree. It's listed as having Honorable Mention 2011 and Award of Merit 2013. I wonder why the exception? I'm so anticipating the bloom of Adoree!!!
I love his colors, his ruffles, their substance. They make a statement!

Who is your favorite?

The first requirement for a favorite iris of mine is that it must grow in the environment I can easily provide for it! Most of the Blythe's I have tried do not last, so for the moment I have eliminated him from my pool of choices...
