I am asking this question as I need a few to start the season. My season is about later than everyone else here, at least this year. It usually starts about May 15th, and yes, I do have a few in bloom. I have one SDB NOID peach colored and it is reliable and blooms every year since I got it. Also I received Cat's Eye SDB, which almost all of you have, but so far, it has not bloomed. Maybe later, or next year. along with Cat's Eye, I received another bonus, MDB Midnight. I am not sure if I will like it or not. There are so many, and when I go through Bonnie's Bloomers (not literally!) she has so many lovelies that my head starts to spin. Mind you, I only want a few special ones, as I have loads of TBs on order. I want to place them into my perennial beds, and hopefully I will find some that bloom more than once. Show me your favorites, and why they are special. "Luck favors the prepared mind." - Thomas Jefferson |

Tu Tu Turquoise What Again I am sure that I could find more. I am just looking for a few, but you might know of some that might be similar that rebloom or have any differences that make it special. "Luck favors the prepared mind." - Thomas Jefferson |

Evelyn, I only have a few SDB's so I can't tell you my favorites yet, I'm loving the ones you have posted though. • “Whoever said, ‘Do something right and you won’t have to do it again’ never weeded a garden.” – Anonymous |

I love Breathtaking and Done Me Wrong. I just bought Little Sighs but I guess it had already bloomed at Iris City Gardens. |

Cinda, Cheeky Kid is a cute little iris. I have not seen it before. ![]() Charlotte, love Done Me Wrong and Orange Smash. All your irises are lovely.
