As most of you know, I tend to make out like a bandit when it comes to my local AIS club picnics. This year I tried hard to limit myself and was sort of successful. I only got 5 new cultivars. ALL of the Tasco introductions!!!!!!!

Here are my 2017 "additions":

Dark Storm

Frosty Spirit

Visual Pleasure

First Prize

The last one was one I had missed out on last year:

Under My Spell


I told the group that I should pick last as I picked first. The president said they would pick youngest to oldest. I was the youngest (Our newest member from 3 years ago is my age, but she has me by three months)

First Prize

Greg! Nice haul.

👍👏nice greg. really like 'first prize'.

it's beautiful!

Only 5 new irises.... I would call that a success

Such good restraint! But you got nice ones.

New Tascos!

Wow, some really great additions!

Here are a couple of pictures of my haul as they lay on the garage floor!

You did it again Greg! This is cutting back on bed space?

You are going to love Cotillion Gown!

Cotillion Gown & Engagement Ring and "replacements" or more true to form "Enlargements" of cultivars I already had.

I tried real hard to resist; but then........

They are Tasco's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got most of those this year But if that's all you got, you behaved yourself much better than I did at our picnic.
