I spent about 5 hours or so at Mid-America and barely scratched the surface of the thousands of iris that were in bloom. The SDB's were mostly done at this point but the earlier TB's were all in their glory. There are pics of some of this year's intros in here. Really nice intros will be scattered throughout. In general there are some amazing blooms being created by Thomas and Paul.

I am going to post these in the order I saw them. Some tag ID's were missed or partial but I tried to get as much info as I could on the loads of seedlings. It was on and off with light rain the day I was there but I am sure that Brad will have some nice sunshine pics to post later since he was out there a week after me and in better weather.

My friend Lori and I started at the original fields right by Sebrite Hostas and Thomas' house. Thomas was going down to take pictures of some of the seedlings, and flag those that will be considered for introductions, so we started at that point.

Here are three new 2019 intros:
