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.......

Really? Thank you!

Rob, I thought my Patchwork Puzzle was a goner - but it's got 3 increases! We'll see.

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:

Rob- already told you I would send you Tuscan Summer. Also have Touch of Mahogany, Maggie Beth and Strut Your Stuff.

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! Thank you Leslie!

Anyone else sharing their top 10?

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

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.

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. Congrats to everyone who contributed. And for the laugh.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Elf Esteem is on my list too! Yes, got carried away dreaming of Mordor. LOL

Oh God it's too early for dear Stan and the gang already. That has to come at the height of the winter light deprivation season. My top ten are yet to be determined. It will be made up of new introductions I'm sure and I haven't seen those yet.

Bonnie must really like Mordor, it's on her list twice!
