I noticed that Keith Keppel has his web site open for the new season with his new intro's listed. Hurray!
A nice bunch of new irises once more. Smiling

I believe he opened before Christmas. He mentioned it on Facebook. He does have some beauties.

Good to see you back Leslie, You've been missing in action here. Smiling I hope all is well with you.

Yes, there are some "Gotta haves" on there for sure.

I was trying to make my list to order for the new Keppel intro's
Right now it would be:
1.Hit Tune
2.Romany Rogue
3.Wintercrest and/ or Satin Ruffles another close choice
I like the beards a lot on Amazon Sunset ,but it looks too close to 'Great Looks 'I got last year.

Some good choices. I have at least 6 on my gotta have list so far. Still have to give it some more thought though.

Talking of list,I have 7 or 8 TB intro's on my Mid-America order list so far.
This year I am hoping to order no more than 15 introductions and leave it at that.The sod removal for new beds is getting to be too much,plus room for the beds is running low.not to mention maintaining all the ones I have.I am not doing a good job of that with 600+.Too many weeds to contend with.
Of course last year I said no more than ten, and planted 104.
It seemed every time I finished an order and said that's it,I had NO self control and had withdrawal and ordered something else!

Well, my MA wish list is already 12, and not all of them are on the site yet. I'll have to widdle that down I'm sure. It's not good for me to look right now, I love everything especially since it snowed this morning. Rolling my eyes.

Yes, we were suppose to have some snow but all it did was rain.Still these winter days ,dull,cold and gray want to make me look and look some more.Plus it is a long period to bloom season and a lot of temptation time!

I am trying to ignore MA since Tom's iris grow so well here. Sounds convoluted but I have no room even after kicking a few out last year.

With all the heavy rain we have been getting that may change of course… Whistling Whistling
