| I am becoming increasingly interested in the "dark top" irises. These can be the reverse amoena, or like some of the newer ones Keppel is working on like Desert Moth. These can be what you have or what you want to add to your collection.  I know there are some new ones that I want to add.

Love Desert Moth! But must not order any more from Tempo Two! Must not!  I have this 'dark top' classic on my list for 2017 though: (Keppel 2002) You don't know if it will grow until you try! |

| Most of my dark topped irises are plicatas. I guess most plics have darker tops than falls so maybe this is cheating a bit but I do love them.

| For TB's here are a few that bloom for me. I am gonna be like Rob and just borrow other peoples photos which are better than mine are anyway. Well, this was an interesting exercise. I did not realize how many yellows that I grow that are so much alike. Even Total Recall has lighter falls than standards. Hmmmmm.......
