I just got an e-mail from Suttons that they are open and ready for business. Some nice introductions this year.

I knew someone would be posting! Hilarious!

Even though I'm not buying, I took a look. I wouldn't say "no" to these two:

This one is a bit shorter than I like, but the color pattern is interesting:

No height data on this one. I guess I wouldn't say "no" to this either, if it somehow ended up in my garden:

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom

Have a credit from last year, so was excited to find out they are open today.

Used the credit to get this 2020 introduction (which I have been drooling over since Sutton first posted the image as an unnamed seedling):

Then, ya know, one Iris can't ride in a box by itself, right? Pretty sure it's a rule somewhere. Whistling Hilarious!

Didn't notice until pasting the images here how much Bold Move and Cold Fusion might look alike in bloom. Enough variation in other photographs that maybe they aren't. Fun to find out. Thumbs up


Wanted Martian since it came out. The name always makes me think of Ray Walston. Smiling // Just look at those Nassau Blue(s) and purples. Lovey dubby

Tom ~ Thank you for letting us know, though I probably won't be buying any this year.

What Sutton's irises will you be ordering?

Sutton irises haven't done well for me here. Loose too many of them. I'll wait to see how they do for others, although I sure like Oceans Edge, (and some others) not sure I trust the vendor pics for accurate color though.

Lovemyhouse..I, too, have a credit from last yr. Did you have to call in your order?
I've always been happy with my Suttons orders..good, strong rhizomes
And, yes, my cart is already exceeding my credit amount! I'm sure this is quite normal, right?? Rolling my eyes.

Kathy, the credit did not show in checkout. I emailed them and was sent a 'gift' code to apply. And, yeah, entirely normal! Hilarious! Not only that, but while waiting for the code, I changed my cart three times. Which is entirely normal for me. Whistling Big Grin
