In retrospect, what is your favorite iris that bloomed for you this year. I know it's a toughy, but lets see some color. This is my favorite, High Octane.
Favorite Iris of the year
Three for me. PAUL BLACK, SEA POWER and MERCHANT MARINE. I will have to find pictures.
I couldn't choose between my three so I had to cheat and pick three. All yours are really beautiful as usual.
You gotta be kidding! One? or even 3 or 4?
Alaskan Seas, Apparent Secret, That's my A
Best Bet, Brown Lasso, Buckwheat. That's my B
Cantina (because it is blooming today!), Captivating, Champagne Elegance, Champagne Waltz, Cheesecake. That's my C
OK, I'm going to stop now. But thanks for asking me.
Wow, that Oasis Lorna is a stunner.
Wow, Ginny's Smile is a winner! Love the way the "skirt" flips up to show the petticoat!
Hawaiian Rain is a beautiful blue, have to look that one up...
I had a lot of beauties this year, but my vote would be Total Recall, because it is just now blooming and it has a wonderful fragrance! It didn't bloom this spring - it would suit me just fine if rebloomers were just late bloomers.
HAWAIIAN RAIN is only available through Superstition or directly through Randy Squires. Randy lives in the Los Angeles area and when Rick Tasco gave a talk at their iris society he told Randy he'd seen HR and was interested in growing it. It's the first year for Superstition so they don't have a lot -- but its picture is still there, so that probably means they still have some left. It's so new and practically no one has seen it, but Randy sent me a couple of plants a few years ago, and for me it's tall with big, gorgeous flowers -- a real winner! I think it's incredible.
If you're interested, Randy's email is:
randysiris@juno.com
Toasted watermellon is great. Where is it available. Do you have some for trade?
Sorry, I don't this year.
I got it from Wild Iris Rows in TN, but it's sold out for them: http://www.wildirisrows.com/text-catalog.html
