On my list too, Nancy!

I know that feeling Nancy. Strawberry Shake is a beauty!

Strawberry Shake has been a vigorous plant and lots of blooms, Nancy. It's my favorite pink - although Love of Life, also gorgeous,
just missed the cut because it had a somewhat short stem this year. We've had a drought here in CA and it may
have affected it. These were all planted in 2014.

Oh my! Jan, your list is like a shopping list for me.

First time for me in seeing so many new irises bloom...I could easily list them all!

In no particular order:

1) Valentino


2)Cherokee Blaze


3)Lady In Purple


4)Black Phantom


5)Edge of Heaven


6)Think About It


7)Tink


8)Monsoon Moon


9)Looky Loo


10)Storm Rider

Nice collection Rob!

OH, I like Edge of Heaven!

Liking all of yours, Rob!!

Me, too!

Me three! Especially Edge of Heaven!

Are we basing the top 10 on performance in the garden or on beauty? Just asking......

Thanks!

I chose ones I really liked and that I don't see mentioned on here very much, or at all.

Wow, Janie! Great list! I have several like yours that would have made my list. That's All Folks
impressed me with its size and vigor. Didn't think I'd like so much yellow, but I liked it a lot. And
you have Jamaica Me Crazy too! It's such a blowzy bloom - like an almost overly buxom showgirl!

Nice Jane!

I forgot to mention, only half of my irises bloomed this year. The majority of them were just planted in October.

edited to add:
Those are nice Arlyn!

Perhaps I will jump in......lots of favorites to choose from...
