This is a nostalgic favorite pick. It came from my mother's iris garden. I do not know its name but it is prolific in buds and increase. It blooms E-M on tall stalks that are so heavy with blooms that they fall over. I still love it. Any suggestions for ID are welcome.

Janie -- meant to say that I can't help with the identity of your white Iris -- but it's lovely. And the ones that have sentimental meaning to us are the best of all!!!

OK -- I haven't used up my ten yet............................. Green Grin!

Alien Mist is a new favorite of mine. I love the color of it -- true blue, no lavender at all -- and I love-love-love the beards!!

Reckless Abandon is one that I haven't seen in person yet -- I just got it last year. But I have wanted it for a long, long time -- and I know that it will be one of my favorites:

For my last favorite pick (and not my last favorite by any means) -- I'll have to go with Magheralin:

This was a bonus Iris in an order a couple of years ago. I had never heard of it, and thought I probably wouldn't care for it much. Boy -- was I wrong. This is a great big, gorgeous blue bloom that I look forward to seeing every spring. Lovey dubby

And that's my 10. I could easily have made it 20!!! Green Grin!

Trust me Mary Ann, when Cat's Eye gets set it will increase quickly. Not a bad thing! I look to have a very nice clump for this year. Hurray!
