All these wonderful pictures of irises are great! I can almost feel the sunshine. I am trying to resist TB's. I keep cutting my lists and going over it and cutting some more then I get on here and 'Tropical Garden' with those old gold beards is just going to have to be in my garden. It is going on my list. sigh.....

Well, Brad, you posted too early, now I'm going to need more in the morning, lol, but I'll sleep well tonight! I know you have more! *Blush* nodding

I have got to get All Smiles, I've liked that one for a while, I hope Suttons is selling it this year with the move and all. I can't seem to find anyone else that has it.

And then there's That's all Folks Oh my! Man, if I start listing the ones I like I'm going to have to list them all. I'm such an easy target!

Bonnie I really like that one too the picture your looking at was taken at the Superstition Garden in California and as far as I know they still have it for sale don't think it had sold out yet.

Tom more to come Green Grin! I have been waiting on Sutton's to update there website they are late this year, Hope the Idaho winter wasn't to rough on them.

Tom,

This "habit" of yours is escalating at an alarming rate. You are now getting "fixes" up to four times a day. I find this to be troubling and that you may need an intervention. I hope your family is up to the task. The "Equine Element" in this farce is most disturbing. Your correlation between Horses and your "fix" is not unheard of, but this symptom can be an unwanted marker of future unhealthy behaviors that cross over into other genus's.

This issue may also push your follow up work on your ground breaking thesis published by the University of Wisconsin - Madison "Agriculture & Applied Economics Department" concerning Sunglasses, Chickens, and their Weeding Potential with Ornamental Plants. We in the Iris community are waiting with much anticipation on this new work. and any delay would be very detrimental. There are many reports of "Bermudafication" happening in the Iris community and your preliminary tracks for the follow up work hinted at a remediation in the "grasses" area.

Please get the help you need so we may live weed free and employ our under employed avian workforce.

Please let me know if I may assist in any way (such as a garden rescue to relieve you of your Iris burden). Your humble servant.

Greg
