Thank you, Margie! What a pleasant surprise to wake up this morning to new glorious pictures if iris! Never an easy choice, my favorites are 19, 24, and 28. That Iris Convention must be fun.
I'm glad you are enjoying them.....thank you.
Betty, The iris conventions ARE fun! And you get to see tons of irises!! Here are 2 links with information on the next convention. The next one is in OKLAHOMA.

I would love to have every single one.
You won't believe what I just did. I joined the AIS. If at all possible I will attend the convention. Oklahoma isn't too far from New Mexico. ( Not too close either.) Seeing that many irises would be a thrill. I remember first thinking about going to the AIS Convention last year when it was in the North West ( Seattle?) but by the time it dawned on me, it was already on.
I am excited!
Ditto polly! Margie, thanks for sharing, they all are absolutely gorgeous.
1 through 28 are my favorites!
pajaritmt-the AIS for 2008 will be even closer to you, as it will be in TEXAS. Which I will be going to.
Margie my vote is for the following 19-20-21-22.

irisloverdee,

The 2008 Convention April 14-19, Austin, Texas
Hope this helps. Not only do you see tons and tons of iris, but you see different types of iris, meaning Bearded, and beardless. You will mean others who are into the iris as well as the oppununity to met many of the hybridizers. Go to different events where you will learn more and more.
Just save up now for it and see if you can get a room mate for the hotel and usually near convention time they will give you an idea of who needs who for room mates.
Good luck and enjoy

If I could only have one it would be #16.
All are wonderful though! Can't wait it see my iris bloom this year for the first time.

Glorious! 16, 23, 24, 26
16,20,24 and 28...WOW. Prettttttttttttttttttttttttttty. Thanks again Margie!
irisloverdee,
Austin! Wow! Couldn't be in a better place in Texas as far as I am concerned. I will definitely try to get to it. But I think I may have to go to Oklahoma City as well. Irises are addictive!
Betty
It's so hard to choose, but I think #18 is my favorite. I also love 16, 23, and 26.
ALL of them!! Jo
