I am really enjoying the ruffled irises. There are some really nice ones out there. One of my favorites is Born This Way, It's such an amazing iris. There are many more so I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of pictures of ruffles here.


Maybe we can help you build your wish list!

That's a pretty definite 'maybe!

When I think of ruffles, I always think of Ghio and this one of his is particuarliy festive:

One of my Favorites with ruffles is TB Birthday Girl

Whatzit, Bonnie??

TB Mango Passion

Thanks for catching that Lilli. I edited the post to add the name TB Birthday Girl.

TB Poster Girl

There are not too many little guys that have ruffles and those that do are not overly endowed. However there are a few that have a bit of ruffling and they are trying to hybridize for more. The name of this one is SDB All Ruffled Up.

Here is another that shows a bit of ruffles. SDB Feel The Heat

One of the first iris's I ordered a few years back "In Love Again". Looking at the info in the database... it is an excellent parent as well.

I think of Ghio too when I hear ruffles.

My Beloved

This one had some to spare:

And Blyth's have plenty of ruffles:

Brad's pic is much better than mine. Loved this one in bloom.

Not super ruffled but nice

And Keppel's Montmartre was my first really ruffly one.

I love this one by Keppel too, so ruffly.

This one by Ghio is a nice ruffly one too.

And here's a ruffly Blyth iris.

Here's a little one by Paul Black that is pretty ruffly.

Ruffles are great - but sometimes they're so over the top that the form is obscured.
This Blyth bloom in my garden made me chuckle.

( I like to think of her as the "Mae West" of the garden!)

This thread is going to cost me some $$$.
