Here is my 2015 Seedling. I moved it from it's seed container last year where it bloomed huge blooms and into the ground. Blooms are not as big as last year but there are lots of them. I am still hoping it's a rebloomer. It's probably not something I would try to introduce but it's still something I hope to use in crosses because it does seem a strong grower. One interesting trait is that it looks a lot different at the point of the bloom opening versus a mature bloom:

Here is Babbling Brook. I waited 3 years for this. But boy was it worth it. It is a good medium blue and based on some discussions in this Forum last year on teal lines, it does have teal lines. I want to cross this one. It has lots of children.


Coral Chalice produces huge blooms and blooms every year:

Best Bet: This is one of my oldest Irises. It blooms every year in abundance and the blooms are breathtaking.
