That is a lot of pluses in it's favor! I'll have to go check that one out!

And it looks like a space ager.

It is a space ager! Deep red, space ager, named for the indians the pilgrims first met. Now if it were $20 less it would be winging it's way to my garden!!!

I like the height but not the horns. Strange that a mid western iris has an eastern Indian name. Perhaps he knew about Arlyn's 'indian bed'.

Great Iris -- good choice, Arlyn!!!

As a matter of fact, he does, Lucy...although I doubt that influenced his name choice . He has a "whole tribe" of "Indian" named iris. I'd like to find some of his older ones, but they are proving to be quite elusive , as he no longer grows some of them. Seems he had a problem with a neighboring farm, and herbicide! Really messed up his operation, a few years back.

Ouch

That's a beauty Arlyn!

Worse than your troubles with the neighbor.

Ouch is right!!!

I'll say ! When it's your livelihood, that's hard to take, and, I suppose there were seedlings lost, as well, and who knows what might be lost there....even repeating the same cross would bring a different ,possible "outcome!

Oh man -- that is painful to think about...............

That makes my brain hurt to think of irises and herbi...ugh... I can't even type it.

Wow Mary Ann. I just went through this thread and I am really enjoying all your beautiful Iris. Sure hope some of my new ones bloom this year. Gosh the ones I got from Schreiners are just taking off and growing wonderfully.

Thank you Cindy. I'm glad to hear that yours are doing well and I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of yours!!

Finally have some blooms to show. I must be way behind Mary Ann.
