MYSTERIOUS ONE (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason-late 39” (99cm)
Slight fragrance. Salmon to orange standards have a violet infusion up the midrib. Falls have a salmon orange ground that is heavily overlaid with mulberry purple. More of the salmon ground color shows through on either side of the dark mulberry belly stripe. Beautiful form on incredible stems that can have up to 4 branches, 4 spurs and up to 16 buds. Has been very valuable not only for its beauty but for it breeding potential for pink and orange ground plicatas. It is also a super strong and easy grower.

Standards are creamy white with a heavy dose of deep lemon infused up through the center. Falls are a rich brown with a lighter amber yellow edge. Strong growth and nice show stems add to the appeal. We like very much! Sdlg TN97UU: Autumn Tease sib X Que Sera Sera

TB Early-midseason-late 38” (97cm)
No fragrance Icy blue white standards have lemon bases and a gold halo. Falls are white with a blue band and lemon hafts. Beards are more yellow than orange giving the flower a brightness and light.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB 38” (97cm) Early-midseason-late
Sweet fragrance Ooh la la, this one is a stunner. I am not usually overtaken by yellow and white as the pattern has been done before but…. I simply cannot get enough of this, the form is impeccable, the stems and buds are first rate, and the clumps are like heaven! The color is so clean and clear and applied in such a way that it makes me want to just pull up a chair and sit and stare at it all day long. It is a recessive, or glaciata, or is it? If you tear down the flower and look deep in the heart you will see the smallest of short purple lines. Whatever the classification, it is certainly gorgeous and highly recommended.

PRETTY MUCH IT (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Midseason-late 38” (97cm)
Sweet fragrance Plicatas are such an interesting and fun group because of the variability that you can get. In loose terms one would describe this as a purple plicata but ‘Pretty Much It’ is so much more than that! Standards are white with a green flush up the midrib. Falls are pristine white with a narrow stitched violet edge and then a deeper violet wire rim. Hafts are touched deep red violet and there is a small violet dart below the beard. Even the beard is a strange blend of orange and white. Upon closer inspection and as the flower ages a bit the standards open slightly to show the gorgeous contrasting deep gold style crests from inside. The flowers are large and extremely wide and ruffled. Stems are tall, well branched and balanced and display the beauty of the pattern perfectly. Sdlg TO163B: Say It Right X Castle On The Hill

PUZZLE PIECE (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason-late 37” (94cm)
Slight fragrance Iris have become such complex beings when it comes to patterns and application of color. Standards are pretty straight forward being a brilliant golden yellow. Falls are a bit more complex. There is a large and plush mahogany red spot in the center, but things get complicated in the band. There is a large wide band that circles the signal, but instead of it being one consistent color it starts outs as a light lavender and lemon blend at the haft and about half way down transitions to lemon and finally deep gold at the distil end. The standard color reflecting itself at the distil end of the fall draws the eye across the whole flower and creates a very pleasing presentation. Tall well branched and budded stems help it to complete on the show bench as well. Shockingly bright and beautiful. Sdlg TN50ZZ: Autumn Tease sib X Truth Or Dare
