I've really just shipped almost everything out this year and started over. I've kept these.

The photo is Raphsody in Blue and Concertina.

However you might want to try Alien Mist (pale blue) and Coral Point (pale coral) even though they are space agers. They are great performers.

I'd also go and look at the iris that Margiempv has put on the plantfiles. She grows every one of them and usually puts a note on the better ones.
