They are both so tiny and sweet, I think I would love to have them both. But that little speckled on really makes me smile. Each bloom stalk was filled with buds.

I love MTB's. They have so much charm and many, many blooms. Both of the photos of MTB's you posted are lovely. I hope they make it to the market.

I am working with MTB's myself as they are tiny (height wise) like I am as I am only 4'11" and getting shorter with each passing year it seems....
The broken color MTB is very unique
Thank you for sharing

D

Dee, that must be why I love the little ones, I too am only 4' 11".

I'm not sure, but I think both of the MTBs will eventually go to market. I hope to be able to buy one of each.

Oh! I love that last little guy! I like the color and the streaks are only on the falls.

I wonder how long it will be before it comes on the market?

Depends on the number of plants available. I like the 06-156 O (pink as well). I would like to have TB luminatas which like it here as well. Fancy was the old name for those.

It is nice to see more photos. Thanks!

Here's the last of my photos of Keith Keppels commercial planting. I'm glad others got photos of his seedlings.

Well, I didn't post all of the irises that I saw At Keppels garden.
I saved three that I liked a lot.
Flame Amber was a unique color at Keith's Garden. I have looked at pictures posted on ATP and some have the unique coloring and some are very solid and plain.


Benedictine is a BB by Marky Smith. Is it a bitone or a bicolor?The falls are nearly black.



I did take a photo of a seedling at Keith's but it was a Blyth seedling. It just grabs you. Similar to one of Keith's and Joe's but definitely different. I love the line of purple between the black and the white.

Omigosh -- these are just gorgeous!! All of them! Fire Danger and Painted Shadows WILL be in my garden someday!! And I love the first and last seedlings in that group Dee!!

ordered Billowing Waves & Marrying Kind for the ISM auction in Aug. Will be interested in the bidding.

Ha ha, I was just going to gush over Painted Shadows - we are still thinking alike Mary Ann! It is lovely. And I really want that Blyth seedling, as well as 10-980 that Dee posted - what a lovely blue & yellow combo!

Yes -- that seedling grabbed me too, Leslie!

What a surprise that we both liked it and Painted Shadows!!

A few photos from Kevin Vaughn's garden and of him. I had a computer crash so I am very behind in posting now.

Oh gosh...

Post # 10 has Painted Shadows - my favorite "new" iris! Thanks, Carl!

Kevin has just finished a book on beardless irises. Don't know the titile.

I got to see that book Lucy. It is beautiful.
@JungleShadows what is the name of the new Iris book?
