That yellow seedling is NICE! To my eye, it has perfect balance between size of the falls, and the standards....Arlyn

I've really been liking Hawaiian Rain this year!! It's beautiful. All of your Irises are wonderful Paul -- your seedlings are great!! I'm liking the fourteenth picture down -- white standards, white striations on the purple falls with a light rim. Really pretty. You have a knack, my friend...........

Adoree looks gorgeous -- can't wait to see it all the way open!

Ditto to all the comments about your blooms. You sure have a nice bunch of seedlings! I think you should have a thread for just your seedlings.

I got in 2011 and it made several nice large increases but didn't bloom Shrug! This year the clump is huge and has several bloom stalks. I hope there is a good one for our show next week. It was worth the wait.

Paul, Is your Adoree a bit on the short side? Mine seemed to be shorter then others last year. I'll have to wait and see what it does this year. I see a bloom stalk developing on it. I have Adoranova that I got from Tempo 2 this spring. It's supposed to be an improvement on Adoree, taller and more ruffly. We'll see next year most likely. I don't think it's colors are as brilliant as Adoree from the pictures.

Tom......My Adoree has 5 stalks. The first 2 in bloom are both 38 inches tall. The other 3 which will bloom in a few days are shorter. I have some cultivars bloom quite tall and others in the same bed are short. Go figure Confused

Beautiful Paul. Loved Butter Pecan, and your seedlings are great. Keep posting, I am still a couple of weeks away, and behind Tom in the bloom department And Adoree is growing on me. I am not so much into the pastels, but it seems the more you post photos of it, the more I like it ~Jan
