Good to know they will be seen. the miniature talls should have a flower 3" X 3". Some of the historics were on their way. A real classic one is Kaleidoscope where each flower is different.

I thought Kaleidoscope would classify as MTB- I love it!

And if "K's" colors don't , quite , trip your trigger.....There is always "Joseph's Coat Katkamier", another "sport" from the "Honorabile" family tree.

and if "all yellow" is more your thing:

There's always "Sherwin-Wright"....yet ANOTHER sport !

Many new plants have come from that bunch. TB broken color has nothing on them.

Bought 'sport Coat' this year, a sport of 'Joseph's Coat Katkamier.' Should be white instead of yellow.

I added that one , too, Lucy ! I have all the 'sports in one bed area.....Sherwin-Wright , Kaliedoscope , Joseph's Coat katkamier, Brown's Mutant, Sport Coat, and what's *supposed* to be Honorabile, and Sans Souci.....it should be pretty colorful, when they all get going well .

My Honorabile x Honorabile didn't take. Looks like I should keep trying.

Don't make fear based decisions.

Dwarf ,you say ?! Did you join via the AIS site, or directly with the Dwarf Society ? I Joined the Median Iris Society early this year, using the AIS site feature for joining it's affiliates.....and I have yet to receive any "response" from them, either

. I'm beginning to wonder if the AIS "talks" to it's Affiliates, very often

both societies have twice a year magazines which have the same editors so things move slowly. You may notice on facebook that that is the same. You should have heard from the membership chairman however. It is summer though.

I lost these irises over 4 years ago due to overspraying by a lawn maintenance guy. I never knew the names but they were particular favorites. I am pretty sure they were MTBs. Any assistance identifying them and locating replacements would be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the iris forum, wdanielw. I only grow about 40 of the MTB's and I dont recognize any of those you posted. Perhaps a brief description in the database will give you some results. Good luck!
