And I deserved that ribbing from you about Devil's Waltz....

Ribbing or not You can imagine a few remarks that the hybridizer gets. However use of ;Devil' is quite common in iris names.

Lucy - I doubt it was about the Devil. I just posted a picture of it in the wrong thread.....

It is 8, 9 and 10 of that last set for me. Gorgeous!!! Hope they are introduced.

Bonnie.. Paul has been working Blue's with pink beards and I think he is getting closer this was the 1st one Ive seen with that pattern hoping it gets a name some day

Debra.. It was unique and caught my eye very different blend of colors.. I think it was a 1st year blooming seedling.

Tom.. I think you mean number 8# it has that same pattern but it was a (Pop Idol) seedling I'm hoping Cold Fusion will pass that pattern on to it's kids I worked with again this year hoping to add that to different colored falls.

Les..no ribbing I got a good laugh out of it though last night, couldn't figure out where all the Devil's Waltz's comments were coming from until I opened the other thread it is a nice one.

It's hard to pick a favorite from these but if I could only get 1 number 12# would probably be it.. the colors in it are Awesome and a clump of that would really stand out but the pink with violet beards was really nice

All wonderful -- but #2 for me. Hands down.

I particularly like these four:

...but THIS ONE!!!

Once again lots of really great ones. The very last one with blue standards and violet falls is sure unique! Are these still from Mid America?

Yah -- I think that last one is my second favorite. Although Deb's first choice is awesome too.

Oh hell -- they're ALL awesome -- and I'm going to have to create a new bed somewhere. Oh -- my achin' back................

What's your avatar Iris Tom? It's awesome too!!

I agree with Debra's first quad of four. They are my favorites.

Mary Ann, that's Crooked little Smile, a Van Liere introduction.

Ahh. Thanks, Tom. It's a pretty thing!

The swirls of color on the falls of the first one!

My eye was caught by #2, and #11 (Deb's choice) as well.

I think I should throw away all my seedlings before they ever bloom because I'm not sure I will be able to after they bloom I don't know how you can cull any of them ... Ever...
So very beautiful Brad!

I agree. 1 and 6 are my favs.

Thanks Everybody !!

Mary Ann.. LOL glad you like them all I thought number 2 was neat also.. Thomas has done some amazing work with the line patterns he has so many good ones in such a wide variety of colors I'm not sure How he choses we will have plenty good ones for years to come

Deb.. The Beards are awesome on that one it may be getting close to getting a name If I remember right there was a nice clump of it.

Tom.. Yes these are still all of Mid America's hope you found a couple to look forward too were coming to the end though of my pictures of them.

This group was Outstanding and some of them should be getting pretty close to getting a name, the color of numbers 1 & 6 was fantastic and would love to have a piece of them to work with, but have been drooling over 8 for years now it just glows in a clump and I need more Plicata's to work with.. Fun Plants!! and hard to pick

So beautiful! for posting so many seedlings pictures Brad. I don't see my want of new irises ending in the future.

If these were offered for sale now, I'd be ordering 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hoping I'd get the rest as bonuses! I agree that 1 and 4 are the chart toppers though!

3,4,5,6,7,8 4 and 8
