My Dad always had iris but never was much for the names. The first iris I had, like Debra, were already here when I moved in. Fortunately I do know their names. Acoma, planted in the 90's and Quaker Lady, planted by Mrs. Troutman in the 1940's. I had ordered iris for my Dad from Schreiners in the past and that glossy catalog kept coming. So I made a first order not that long ago and you have all seen my pictures by now. The order included Owyhee Desert, Tanzanian Tangerine, World Premier, Starship Enterprise, Michigan Pride, Gnus Flash, Isn't It Something, Bumblebee Deelight, Frosted Velvet, and included the bonuses Grateful Red, Sunrise Elegy and Montmartre. Funny how easy it is to remember all the first iris compared to what was ordered the second year, etc.!!
