oops.. 'Concertina' is not a TB, but an IB. My bad.

for blues what about babbling brook and great lakes?

Richard -- the original inquiry was for Irises with blue beards, I believe -- not blue Irises. Those sure are pretty ones, though............

You're welcome, Barb -- I hope you like Alien Mist as much as I do!!

Your right Mary Ann. My mistake. Momentary brain fart.

Been there -- done that -- becoming a life-style.............

it happens a lot more lately to me.

Thanks Richard, those are nice anyway.

Well so far my favorites posted here are Alien Mist, Codicil and Concertina, in that order.

You have good taste, Cindy!!!

I have Alien Mist rhizomes to share next spring............

And now I NEED Codicil!

Both "Alien Mist" and "Codicil" are struggling for me. I hope they both make it through the Winter. I just got Concertina this year and it is doing nicely so far!

Great MaryAnn, maybe I will have enough of Reckless Abandon to do a trade with you.

Um -- I already have Reckless Abandon, Cindy. At least -- I have it *now* -- we'll see what the spring brings!!!

If it survives (and I pray that it does) -- I'm sure you have something else that I'm longing for. After all -- I'm longing for so MANY!!!!!!

Ok, sounds good.

Here are a few more:

'Pledge Allegiance' is a nice "blue on blue". Very stately and elegant.


It seems many of the purple/blue plicatas have a blue beard
'First Stitch'


'Dusky Challenger'


'Song of Norway'

Song of Norway is elegant, isn't it?

You know, I'm not a big fan of it. It's kind of a mousy color and hasn't grown well for me. But it's impressed a lot of people along the way.

Well -- your picture of it impresses me!!

Those are all very nice Sherry. Thanks for posting them.
