Just for fun, what is everyone's new favorite or most exciting purchase so far this year?


I have 2, as of today but I still have 4 orders coming sooooo maybe I might get a super awesome bonus Iris somewhere in those.

1.). Good morning sunshine ( I got this one in our local Iris society member raffle, I believe it's from mid America). It had 5 nubs on it!



2.) Love to Party. ( got this one from Iris sisters)

Welcome, Boxergirl
My favorite that I received this summer is Triple Dip from our society raffle last week. Don't have a picture but it is from MidAmerica and is supposed to rebloom.

I will have to think on this one. So many to choose from it is hard to narrow down the choices. I guess if I had only one to say its the most valuable it would have to be a seedling from an iris friend that is trusting me to enjoy it when it blooms. I am really looking forward to seeing it bloom next spring. Of the ones that I have swapped for..... they are extra precious because they are connected with an ATP friend. hmmmmm....

I'll have to think about it as well. I'm expecting more boxes so I'm hoping for some really nice ones. However, of those that I have already planted this year, I would have to say it would be

It doesn't have to be just one! Lol. Sometimes it's too hard to decide!


Sooo. I have to share because I am seriously seriously happy with a new vendor I tried this year! Iris sisters! If you have not purchased from robin, you don't know what you are missing! I just received my last order from her for this year! This was my second order! I placed it on Tuesday last week and received it today. I also got as many bonus Iris as iris I ordered!!! Boy did she figure out how to keep a customer for life! I love it! They are huge and super healthy!

Eric, that is beautiful!

Here is a picture of your triple dip Jane! She's beautiful!

Iris Sisters are fantastic vendors. They always give bonuses and try to give you something along the lines of what you have ordered. I usually order the SDB's and my bonuses are all medians.

Triple Dip from our ATP database.

cross posted. lol

Bonnie, great minds think alike!

Welcome Jen! Those are some nice looking rhizomes!

There's too many I'm looking forward to seeing. I could (maybe) narrow it down to 40.

Well, My favorite new Keppel (all of these are based on pictures) is

My favorite new Blyth is

My favorite new Paul Black is

Well, that's today, ask me tomorrow and I might have a while new bunch. Just call me the Fickle Cheese Head!

Then There's the MTB's and I can't decide between

and

What A Beauty is an exceptionally beautiful pink...... and Mordor is a must have. I only have about forty of the MDB's and am trying not to add many new ones as I want to add some historics but that little Elf Esteem would be an exception. sigh

tom, im going to have to invest in the marring kind! that is amazing!!!! I love the watercolors also, and I plan to add that to my collection down the line especially since I have 2 grandmother and a grandfather that were amazing watercolor artists.

Gosh, I can't choose just one so I'll go for a few.

First up has got to be Thornbird.


Second, Silverado


My third is an historic, Rhages.

I am so much looking forward to seeing all the new ones but these in particular. Everyone's choices are beauties!

I am interested in SDB Portland Pink from mid America. It blooms late so will extend the SDB season. I wonder what happens when crossed with Mordor.
