Aitken's Salmon Creek will have my miniature tall bearded irises this spring. The miniature dwarfs won't be offered until '22.

I have a couple more coming out later this year but no names yet. These will be the first of the giant series. Can't imagine how big Melissa will get them!

Kevin



Do you know who will be carrying these new ones yet even though they have not been named?

Kevin,

The black with the red core was pretty cool, I'd love to have that one. I remember you posting a picture of it last year. I had one from 'Silverine' that almost did the same thing, more of a purple with a red center, unfortunately the center went green on me this winter.

Back to seed planting, I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then of course it won't be long till I'm rowing them out. This hobby certainly keeps me out of trouble! Big crop this year, my percentage of viable seed is way higher on a per-cross basis to.

Nathaniel,

One of the sources is wholesale only so you won't see those commercially until '22. The one that is in production and is named is 'Copper Kettle' which is a medium sized copper colored one and is retail only. That will probably be later in '21.

Lynn,

Sorry on that one. I remember "woman's name beginning with K". I only had that plant for a month or so before it bloomed and only got a few good viable seeds.

Melissa,

Sorry I just saw the ad. WOW they sold out quickly if that's true. I don't know if they have a wait list but I'm sure they have more coming along.

That's why I made my move right away, Nathaniel posted here that it was on mcg and I literally stopped reading and went to place an order, I don't think 'Red Zinger' was up for more than three or four days tops.

I'm very excited to get 'Copper Kettle' this year, that's been one of my favorites from the images Kevin's posted on the seedling chat.

Any news on the toothpicks Kevin? Will you be releasing them or waiting for the next generation?
