VAVAVOOM (L. Miller ’23)
TB SA Midseason-late 31” (79cm)
Light fragrance. A difficult to describe shade of orange. A blend of coral, peach, and orange depending on the lighting. Crisp, nicely ruffled flowers with flaring falls are well placed on strong stalks. The deep coral orange beards are completed by the upturned horns. Fuzzy horns are always consistent along with 7 to 9 buds. Sdlg. 4317B: 7414B: (Swoosh x (High Spirited x Autumn Reisling)) X 9013C: ((7211: ( In Love Again x Super Model) x Fiesta Orange)).

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN (T. Johnson ’23)
TB Late 38” (96.5cm)
Sweet fragrance. Standards are pink with a flesh pink band and a gold edge. Falls are a rich plum violet with tangerine beards. This is a late variety. It is in full flower when pretty much everything else has finished. A very strong grower and increaser and floriferous, covering itself in bloom. Sdlg. TK1ZZ: Love You So sib.

UNTAMED GLORY (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Mid 28” (71cm)
Untamed Glory is a novelty iris. It very consistently has six falls and no standards, but instead of going completely flat they hold in the shape of a magnolia bloom. It is very reminiscent in form of a very old cultivar by Opal Brown called Pink Magnolia. A clump of Untamed Glory will completely cover itself with these large ruffled salmon pink flowers with irregular white broken color. Definitely an iris for those who love the novelties.

UNIMAGINABLE (Paul Black 23)
TB Early-Midseason 35” (89cm)
Slight musky fragrance It is difficult to say which of the newer veined standards and falls creations I like best. Each is distinctive and has its own appeal. ‘Unimaginable’ is certainly toward the top of the list. Standards are pale lilac with one inch band of dark plum and solid rim. Circular white upper half of falls is covered with black veins progressing to solid black lower half with white dotted laced rims. It is an amazing look. Three branches produce 7-8 buds. Lots of plicata in the background. Sdlg. Z95G: Black V145A: (Etcetera x Spiced Lemon) X Laser Light Show

UNDER THE HARVEST MOON (T. Johnson ’23)
TB Early-midseason-late 36” (91.5cm)
Slight sweet fragrance. I have a bit of a love for orange amoenas and this one is no exception! Standards are cream with orange centers. Falls are a rich orange with deep red-orange beards. This is bloomed for a long time this past spring and everytime I was near it I felt obliged to take a picture. It is extremely bright and lovely. Sdlg. TK213YY: Latest Fashion sib X Shockaholic.

UNDER PRESSURE (T. Johnson ’23)
TB Midseason 36” (91.5cm)
Sweet fragrance. Under Pressure is another iris that was labeled as an intro from maiden bloom. It never ceases to perform and has good stems and buds as well. Bright yellow standards. The falls are a bit complicated. There is a yellow sunburst in the center that is bordered with a diffused wash of red violet. Then the violet transitions to lavender and finally a very light yellow rim with a violet wire edge. Sdlg. TK170C: Dare To Be Different and This Is Crazy sib.

UNDER DOG (P. Black ‘19)
TB Midseason-Very Late 36” (91cm)

Sweet fragrance. Standards have pink centers and a wide lacy orchid lavender edge. Falls are white with a lacy orchid pink band.

TURTLE TANGO (P. Black ‘20)
SDB Midseason-Late 13” (33cm)
Can a turtle really tango? Centers of light blue standards are blushed pale green. Mid olive gold falls have cream rays over hafts and white streak from beard to outer edge. Using this to get clear blue standards and clear yellow or pink falls. It might take some generations.

TB Midseason 40” (102cm)
Sweet fragrance. Standards have a cream ground that is almost completely overlaid with gold and a crystalline white petal edge. Falls are white with a lilac blue plicata band and dotted bar on either side of the beard. I simply love this iris. The color combination is so unique and carries the wow factor when in flower. Tall well branched stalks beckon to you from across the garden.
