I have little time this morning, so sitting here with my cup of coffee I decided to make a top 10 most wanted list for next year. I left off the 2015-2016's (soon to be 2017's) because that could be a list in itself. Today, my top 10 list looks like this: Captain Thunderbolt Carousel of Dreams House Arrest Maggie Beth Midnight Embers Patchwork Puzzle Seasons In The Sun Strut Your Stuff Touch of Mahogany Tuscan Summer I'm sure it will change a little when Spring rolls around. |

I could help you with 4 of those....... My road calls me, lures me west, east, south & north; most roads lead men homewards, my road leads me forth. - John Masefield |

Really? Thank you! ![]() |

Rob, I thought my Patchwork Puzzle was a goner - but it's got 3 increases! We'll see. "Garden as though you will live forever" - William Kent, English landscape architect. |

Is that one a slow grower Jan? |

Liz, it was in the least desirable bed, far from the house and the hose, and it got dry. So I dug it up and found the three increases. It's in the deck "nursery" and doing well. This photo "sold" me on Patchwork Puzzle! BB Code: "Garden as though you will live forever" - William Kent, English landscape architect. |

Rob- already told you I would send you Tuscan Summer. Also have Touch of Mahogany, Maggie Beth and Strut Your Stuff. My road calls me, lures me west, east, south & north; most roads lead men homewards, my road leads me forth. - John Masefield |

During the heat of the Tuscan Summer, Stan went up to Maggie Beth and asked her "Would you like a Touch of Mahogany?". For which Maggie replied, "go ahead and Strut Your Stuff"... |

Yippy! ![]() ![]() Anyone else sharing their top 10? |
cliftoncat Oct 20, 2016 11:44 AM CST |
I think you should be put under house arrest for that one, Rob. And who is Stan? ![]() |

Mika, here's the story of Stan, Don and Teenybopper: The thread "Amazing Don, Private Eye - Case of the missing Teenybopper" in Irises forum Its companion thread: The thread "Amazing Dan Companion thread" in Irises forum |

My top 10 doesn't include the irises I'll be ordering from Tempo Two since they won't be on my wishlist for long ![]() Magic Mirror I Meant to Do It Big Band Mood Ring Sergey Party Rock Edge of the World Big Hat No Cows Chocolate Soup Sutton’s 2017 Mego intro – name in progress |
UndertheSun Oct 20, 2016 12:00 PM CST |
Liz, I can send you Edge of the World next year. Chocolate Soup is still a single rhizome, but she plumped up nicely. I left off some Mego's that are on my list too. |

UndertheSun said:Mika, here's the story of Stan, Don and Teenybopper: OK now I know who Stan is. Those threads are absolutely hilarious and brilliant - I looked at the start thinking I'd skim a few posts, and ended up completely hooked. If you read it all at once, as a story, it's tears-down-your-face funny. ![]() ![]() |

My top ten right now would be.... Burlesque cutie Mordor Canine Caper Mesa Sunrise Orange Obsession Here Come The Clowns Morning Hues My Cher Mordor Comic Scroundel All SDB's of course. I have a few more (few!!!) I am looking for but for now these are at the top of my list. My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts. |
Dachsylady86 Oct 20, 2016 1:19 PM CST |
Thanks Rob, that would be great! Bonnie, I got a lot of those this year and they came with a bunch of increases already so check back in with me next Spring if you still need/want them. |
grannysgarden Oct 20, 2016 1:32 PM CST |
Liz, tree mail me possibilities so I don't order them. I know a lot can happen to a garden between now and sharing time but I would rather trade, or for postage, and order the ones from vendors that no one has to share. My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts. |
IrisLilli Oct 20, 2016 1:32 PM CST |
Well Bonnie, I'm guessing you really, reeeally want 'Mordor'?? ![]() Burlesque Cutie is on my list too - and I'm only listing some of those I have a chance of getting here: Elf Esteem Burlesque Cutie Puddy Tat Audace Dance with Dragons Chocolatier Ghost Writer Haunted Heart Midnight Embers Private Eye All on my 'to get' list for 2017 and they have plenty of company! ![]() You don't know if it will grow until you try! |
grannysgarden Oct 20, 2016 1:47 PM CST |
Elf Esteem is on my list too! Yes, got carried away dreaming of Mordor. LOL My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts. |

Oh God it's too early for dear Stan and the gang already. ![]() ![]() Bonnie must really like Mordor, it's on her list twice! ![]() I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. - Alexander the Great |
