If you enter the name Mid-America Garden in Facebook you can see some of their beautiful 2014 introductions. I don't belong to Facebook and got in using my sister's info, and I don't feel I should post the info from her account here, but I'm sure someone here must be a member of Facebook and can post the link here -- yes?

I think they are introducing more SDB's than TB's this year. Is that unusual or am I just confused? Funny, I don't remember being absent minded. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

I takes TBs longer to develop. We median fans should take advances of this year. Remember last year's 'bonus' TBs will be available for ordering this year.

Mid America does their 'bonus' as one for ordering earlier introductions--order all the ones you missed the previous year & get a this year's bonus.

Medians typically make up at least a third of their introductions. Also, between the two of them, they usually introduce 60 - 80 irises each year and Thomas has only shown around 20 on facebook so far so I'd imagine there are a lot of TBs (probably quite a few medians, too) yet to come.

I agree Betty, they are very nice, and Die Laughing is quite unique!

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

I love all the little SDB's with big bushy beards!!!!! and the little pink ones with blue beards Oh So Sweet and Gates Of Paradise. And It's Not Over is a must have if it is really blue and not purple. I will have to see it. Its a re-bloomer but I have several purple SDB's that re-bloom. Need more colors in the fall!!!
