I love the blends and splashes. Love deep, saturated colors. I guess if I had to choose a favorite, I would go with the purples.

I said peach/orange because that's what I'm drawn too when placing an order. I sure wish I knew what Iris is in LynnG avatar because I would buy that iris in a heart beat. It's gorgeous!

Yeah, right, LOL, I think I have a problem, what causes me to keep buying and buying and buying.
I did that a few years ago with Orchid plants. I just kept buying more and more and more ......
and I can't stop myself ! Now it's happening again with Iris ! Big Grin

I tree mail LynnG awhile ago asking what her avatar is and she could not remember, she did say she would let me know if she remembers the name. So there's hope we might get a name. Like I said it's gorgeous!

Patrick one of my favorite yellows is "Tying Yellow Ribbons" It's a great grower and increaser.

and Zesting lemons is another one I like.

Yes, I grow Coronation. Nice plant, increases well, and pretty hardy, as far as leaf spot , and such. Not much seems to bother it.
I'm done digging for the year, but, if you remind me in the spring, at bloom time, I'm pretty sure I have another clump that's going to be dug.

Tom, I was thinking it might be Magharee too. Looking at my photos of Magharee I thought "No" because my photos of Magharee show a blush of lavender on the standards.
Maybe it was my camera ...

Maybe my Magharee is not really Magharee. Sticking tongue out

Arlyn's photo is Lucy's intro Sunsprite, right?

Coronation is a good grower here and "plays well with others" in the mixed bed. It has a long bloom season too.
My Coronation doesn't have the red spots, more like this pic:
