Has anyone ordered any irises yet?

I sent my Keppel order in last week, and I just sent an order to Mid-America. I think that will be it for this year. We'll see.

Tom, what did you order?

I have a wishlist, but I hope to get up to Oregon this May to see my choices in person before I order them. I'd like to order Karakul and Royal Heir from Keppel. At Mid-America, I have 39 on my wish-list. Hard choices will have to be made!

From Keith Keppel I ordered:
Amazon Susset
Desert Chaparral
Hit Tune
Moving On
Romany Rogue
Up Scale

From Mid America I ordered:
Box Of Chocolates (2)
Coloring Book
Wild About You
Catch You Later
Celebrity Dream
Draw The Line
Found A Love
Like A Dream
Make A Move
Moment Of Reflection
Natural Choice
Parade Of Stars
Plot Twist
Rest Of The Story

Now I'll have to do some more culling to make room for all these.

Not yet ,Tom.
I have had a lot of dental expenses .I still have the 2nd half of a tooth implant due this month-$1500 just after a root canal and crown a few days ago.
That would have bought a lot of iris!
I do plan on ordering probably toward the end of March when my funds recover - hopefully.I am thinking 4 introductions from Keppel and 9 or 10 introductions from Mid America all TB's.Maybe 4 or so intro's from 1or 2 others.I have my list made.
Like you,I am thinking this will be it,but we will see- - - -
I plan to go look at what you ordered.

Wow Tom, that's a lot of the new intros! I'm jealous!
I'm over the moon to have ordered for the first time from Mid America. I'm over here in the UK and have pondered on making an order for many years- but what with the certificate, shipping and additional costs it made it way too expensive, however I'm thrilled that a few of us have grouped together to order so are spreading the costs so I've ordered! I would have loved to have ordered some of the new intros- but the costs are so much higher so I've gone with;
Bit of Pink
Blushing Doll
Catch the fever
Mini stripe
Picker Upper
Space Force
Sussudio.
Now to find some space…

I am strongly tempted by Draw the Line. I've liked its parent, Center Line, for a long time.

Oooh, that one's pretty! https://wiki.irises.org/TbAthr...

I think I might have to replace Centerline with Draw The Line in my wants list.

Center Line is a good grower here, but this one seems to be larger and more ruffly. I hope it grows as well as Center Line. It's pictures are sure nice.

Center Line blooms reliably for me. It doesn't form the big clumps that I like, but that may be my fault - I may not yet have found the best place for it in my garden.

Tom - I love Coloring Book .
https://wiki.irises.org/TbAthr...

Yes, Coloring Book sure looks bright and beautiful. Love that multi-colored edge.

I ordered and already received two replacement irises (my fault, not theirs).... PCI PRETTY BOY, and the variegated I. japonica APHRODITE. I just need to wait for the ground to dry out a bit before I can plant them.

In a fit of madness, I ordered some PCI seeds from the PCI society. What was I thinking?

I doubt that I'll order any other irises this year.

"Pretty sure this will be it "

Waiting to do one more from IRIS4U.

Now I'm sure you're going why did you order 2 of one and 4 of another right? Well see I'm not so smart (maybe), I've decided that maybe I'm going to try my hand at going commercial. So, I need to stock up on a few plants that did good, and I only had 1 of them.

Nice bunch of irises.

You guys must have an inexhaustible supply of energy (and land, and water, fertilizer...).

To you Daisy-oh ye of little faith-of course I am "pretty sure" and Tom-Mr.Doubting Thomas!

Marilyn,no to a lot of land and energy and fertilizer.My side yard is running out of space and me out of energy !
Plus fertilizer for all my iris gets expensive!
That is why I am" trying" to be good with the number of new iris this year.The last 2 years I had over 100 each year.

Cory ,nice order.
Hope your Ambition comes to fruition over the next few years.

I've already ordered from MA, but I might have to add Draw The Line. Pretty! But I'm spending too much. This thread certainly feeds the addiction.
