Tom I really like Highland Lord it is growing really well lot's of increase and the flower is stunning, I think you will like that one there is another that did well here called Magnifecent Masterpiece it came from Barbara Nicodemus in MIssouri and was really nice as well but I did not get a good picture of it, it had beautiful Purple Foilage about 1/3rd of the way up the leaves that made the plant stand out. I think Kent had the best picture of It I have seen maybe he will post it
Joann and May Ann Thank You I wish it was in Iowa
I took that picture at Schreiners in there show gardens and they are really good at mixing other Perenials in with the Iris so lot's of things are blooming at the same time, I have tried to plant the Delphiniums and Columbine but most of them do not make it through the winter here but they really look nice with Iris if you can keep them alive.
KIm both of your pictures are great I will add those to the wish list for next year.
