Here is a little Blyth Beauty I got from Brad. Thank You!

In person this iris has such deep saturated color. Really pretty.

Then there is the MTB Frosted Velvet. One of my first iris buys and still a trooper. I really like the clean colors of this one. Nothing fancy, just nice.

Blooming again in it's second year is Ivory Ghost by Gerald Richardson. I love this iris. The smoky flush of the standards against the cream is really appealing to me.
