HI Lucy,

Phil has not seen most of these due to the fact that he lives 350 miles away and could never be here of course to catch all of them in bloom. My program has suffered the last few years for a variety of reasons and mostly I have sent him photos of the better ones. If I have one that I think is marketable I will send it to him to grow. He has one or two growing in his garden right now and I have a couple more I plan to send this summer. He does all of my introductions after I register them. Many of these are no longer here in existence but glad you like them.

I'll have to stop looking. It's driving me nuts. So many of these are as good as or better than Irises on the market for sale.....................

I notice that last year's introductions are now available through Superstition Gardens as well.. they recognize quality & the fact gives more people a chance to see them. Your last year's plants in the ISM auction were bought by a judge with a great knowledge of plants.

Vi -- you could also make a garden of Irises with military names -- or patriotic names. Or these could be mixed in with your RWB garden!!

For "patriotic" the historic Dykes winner "Allegiance" came immediately to mind. Here are a few others:

All American
American Heritage
American Pride
America the Beautiful
Osay Canuc
Patriotic Banner
Patriotic Colors
Patriotic Heart

Thank you all for your help, you have given me some ideas to think about, research and make my list from. As soon as the weather warms up I will go to his house and start making my new bed to put them in.

He is having his retirement ceremony on March 7th, I am looking forward to going to that.

Thank you!!!
