Hello everyone, I've been visiting this forum quite a while now--thought I'd finally join.

You've all provided much advice, interesting and funny conversations, and lovely iris pictures. Thank you!

I have about 70 named iris and a few noids. My favorite is TB Owyhee Desert. However, I also like the shorter iris, and hope hybridizers will continue to expand the selection--especially the IB's and BB's.

Irises were a childhood favorite, and I'm happy to be able to grow them now, and look forward to visiting with all of you.

Owyhee Desert

Always good to have more people on here.

Good morning Laurie and welcome to this iris family.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Laurie! I think Owyhee Desert has the best scent ever! I adore that iris.

I guess I would love it too, had I not lost it to rot. Maybe again some other time. Pretty picture.

Thank you all for your warm welcome!

Leslie, I think Owyhee Desert smells kind of like rootbeer

I like to bring blooms indoors to enjoy, and it's great when they have a sweet fragrance!

After I receive my orders this year, I'll top the century mark!

Welcome. Laurie

An Iris currently in bloom ..

Since I don't know her proper name, she has been named 'Party Gal' as she seems to be wearing a white silk blouse and velvet purple skirt - ready to Party!

Live like every day as it is your last because one day -- it will be.
(if I can find who said this, I'll credit that dear Soul -- wasn't me, but it makes a lot of sense)

This isn't a dress-rehearsal ~

While there are hybridizers who specialize in tall there are others who do so in median & some who do both like the Mid-America gardens& Winterberry & Stout at Dancing Tree. check their offerings for the smaller plants.
