| Just for fun, what is everyone's new favorite or most exciting purchase so far this year? I have 2, as of today but I still have 4 orders coming sooooo maybe I might get a super awesome bonus Iris somewhere in those.  1.). Good morning sunshine ( I got this one in our local Iris society member raffle, I believe it's from mid America). It had 5 nubs on it!  2.) Love to Party. ( got this one from Iris sisters)  |

Welcome, Boxergirl  My favorite that I received this summer is Triple Dip from our society raffle last week. Don't have a picture but it is from MidAmerica and is supposed to rebloom. |

| I will have to think on this one. So many to choose from it is hard to narrow down the choices. I guess if I had only one to say its the most valuable it would have to be a seedling from an iris friend that is trusting me to enjoy it when it blooms. I am really looking forward to seeing it bloom next spring. Of the ones that I have swapped for..... they are extra precious because they are connected with an ATP friend. hmmmmm....

| I'll have to think about it as well. I'm expecting more boxes so I'm hoping for some really nice ones. However, of those that I have already planted this year, I would have to say it would be |

| It doesn't have to be just one! Lol. Sometimes it's too hard to decide! Sooo. I have to share because I am seriously seriously happy with a new vendor I tried this year! Iris sisters! If you have not purchased from robin, you don't know what you are missing! I just received my last order from her for this year! This was my second order! I placed it on Tuesday last week and received it today. I also got as many bonus Iris as iris I ordered!!! Boy did she figure out how to keep a customer for life! I love it! They are huge and super healthy!  |

| Iris Sisters are fantastic vendors. They always give bonuses and try to give you something along the lines of what you have ordered. I usually order the SDB's and my bonuses are all medians.

| What A Beauty is an exceptionally beautiful pink...... and Mordor is a must have. I only have about forty of the MDB's and am trying not to add many new ones as I want to add some historics but that little Elf Esteem would be an exception. sigh 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? |

| I am interested in SDB Portland Pink from mid America. It blooms late so will extend the SDB season. I wonder what happens when crossed with Mordor. |
