| I will start with a couple that have been on my list a loooong time. SDB Priwall. Used to be offered here but can't find it anymore. SDB Robin's Nest. A Carol Coleman iris. Due to health issues another vendor is taking her irises but this one has not been available for a few years. Baby Barn Owl. Not a U S iris but you never know when it will show up Scott it may be more helpful if I leave off the commentary. If so I will go back and edit. Let me know how to help make this thread productive.

| A few more.... SDB Alsterquelle. I think a German iris and they don't share a lot.  SDB Barnstormer SDB Derive SDB Blue Eyed Elf SDB Groovy Grubworm SDB Hobgoblin SDB Hussy SDB Rock Goblin SDB Olives and Umber SDB Real Coquette SDB Witches Toes I think I am over my 10.

| I've not seen enough irises to know which ones are rare but just wanted to say that I plan to volunteer for the Elmohr iris sale going on next July, I'll keep an eye out for any that make this list. There are gardeners in that group that have been iris collectors for several decades, might be able to find a few. Also plan to visit the 3 big growers I've found online in CO next April/May and will keep an eye out there as well. LizB |

| I've had this iris on my want list for a couple of years: not that old of an iris, but a most wanted one. Country Delight Iris had it, now I'm just hoping they reopen next year. If anyone has it and wants to trade (or sell) please contact me.  • “Whoever said, ‘Do something right and you won’t have to do it again’ never weeded a garden.” – Anonymous |

| I really, really, reeeel-ly want this Iris. One of the Pickle Barrel folks thinks they have it, but they have to wait for bloom confirmation. Soooo... It’s okay to not know all the answers. |

| Barbara and Debra, I've added Sirocco Mist and Moby Dick to the list. I hope you (or someone else) can find them! “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” --John Muir (1838-1914) |

| Scott - you will be able to find Purissima and Snow Flurry through Superstition Iris. They have carried both for awhile and they say they will be available again in 2018. Remember to order early if you really want the iris before it gets sold out!

| I would love to get Prairie Spirit and Hummingbird's Blessing. Both are Carol Coleman dwarfs. I had them on order with her, but sadly she has had a stroke and had to cancel all orders. Supposedly Rainbow will have them, or at least Kelly has all her iris and seedlings, but Hummingbird has never been available. Prairie Spirit is gorgeous so would love this one. I would also like to find Burseen's Natty Attire. "The chimera is a one time happenstance event where the plant has a senior moment and forgets what it is doing." - Paul Black |

That's great news Leslie! @evelyninthegarden Leslie, do you know what is the best way to order from Superstition if someone does not use Facebook? “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” --John Muir (1838-1914) |

I do not know her, but I'm sending out good wishes to Carol Coleman.  May she have a full recovery and healthy future. |

| Thanks Rob. Their site was 'Iris on Pond' I think and both her and husband Ken worked in the irises. They used to sell but in the last few years have offered their irises through other vendors.

| Scott, I think Dirt answered it well. To order from Superstition you need to order their catalogue No orders are placed through Facebook. But do ask for a catalogue early so you can get the pre-catalogue iris list. All orders must be mailed in. All this is really worth it. They send amazing healthy rhizomes.
