Good morning, I was wondering if anyone is growing any of his intros? Do they increase well. I had been on FB and didn't know that Iris4uU was a hybridizer's website.
Love several of his intro pics!

I grow his 'Global Crossing'. It is my favorite neglecta. It is absolutely gorgeous, grows well, is everything you could ask for. It was a runner-up for a Wister Medal last year.

I used to have Mayan Mysteries. It did not bloom the first year, but did put up a number of stalks the 2nd year.

Global Crossing is beautiful, Andrea!

Global Crossing has been on my wish list seemingly forever. But now with my heart/lung issues, I am in the process of trying to find a garden helper to help me with the ones I already have. This is the first year since I have started collecting irises that I won't be ordering any.

I have seen numerous photos of GC making gorgeous clumps. I think it's stunning.

Boom Shakalaka has piqued my interest. A lot.
Does anyone know how to stop spending money on flowers?

They are retiring after this year. So, if you want any of his intros, you should buy them this year. The site opens for orders on the first of April. I have my eye on a couple! I have purchased from them three times before. The irises do well here.

Hi, Andrea
Thank you for posting that yours has done well. Do you belong to the Bluegrass Iris Society? I have a daughter that has moved to Georgetown.

No, I do not. Unfortunately My time is very limited between my fossil club, artwork, my job, and plant and animal care.

I have had many of his irises over the years. They all have done well here.
