Marilyn - I see you have Ocelot. My dad and I want to order this one this year. Can I ask how it has performed for you? Stalk strength, branching, bud # sturdiness of blossoms? I am in Michigan too but quite a bit further south near Kalamazoo, but at least we are close to the same area. Thanks so much, Lana Quote | Post #980825 (1)

Hi Lana, I just ran outside to look at my Ocelot. The stalks are really strong and I have never had to stake them, 3 branches and 4-5 buds. Ocelot blooms here every year and is usually the first one to bloom, but this year Beyond Borders beat it. Here are some more. Okay, another shot of Roper's Revenge. This one has spurs on it. Holy Cow Another Masai Warrior - I can't get enough of this one. Inchoation - Burseen Wild Jasmine Mystic Potion Miami Beach Have a Goodun Hopefully I will be able to get some shots that are not all wet.

Great pics, Marilyn! Love how you put the black background on Wild Jasmine! My business: Click here for Siberian Iris Gardens! Quote | Post #981010 (5)

Polly, the plant behind it was covered with leaf spot and I needed to cover it up. I will be working on putting my new ones in the database, only have a couple done so far. Masai Warrior is awesome! I was worried it wouldn't look like the picture when it bloomed, but I think it is my new favorite one. Quote | Post #981013 (6)

All really nice pictues. Love the first one! Quote | Post #981074 (8)

Tom, I love the first one too! Mary Ann, I ordered it from Appalachian Iris Garden, but their web site isn't there this year. They do have a Facebook page, and I know they sell on Ebay under something like tn-tigger. I ordered 4 different irises from them last year and all of them bloomed this year.

Oh my! I've done business with tn-tigger before. They were trying very hard to get away from Ebay and run their business on a website instead. I wonder what happened? I'll check with her. I've several of hers in my collection! She sends wonderful rhizomes!! Every day is a second chance. Every day is precious time. Quote | Post #981131 (10)

I agree, and I would definitely order from her again, except I am not ordering anything this year. Well, we didn't get the rain, so I ran out and took some more pictures this morning, and still a lot of buds not open yet.

The last one, PPW, is unique and a real keeper. I do not recall ever seeing that color in any catalog. Quote | Post #981504 (17)

Jerry, that was is different, but the falls are really droopy. I took a whole bunch of pictures yesterday and here are some of them, still irises with buds on them. This is my happiest time of the year. Dearie Elvis Dreamer Cranfel's Gap Arctic Burst Dragon King - Only had 1 stalk and it broke off and was lying on the ground.

Superb pictures Marilyn.....love them all but I am especially taken with Mercy Marci......and I normally don't like flounces much. I like Dragon King in my garden. Paul Smith Pleasant Grove, Utah [Last edited Jun 13, 2013 12:48 PM CST] Quote | Post #981714 (19)
