MISSION ACCOMPLISHED (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason-late 40” (102cm)
Slight fragrance. I had a dream many years ago to take that wonderful burnt orange color on the iris Shockaholic and put it on a plant that had wider branching and stem; thus the name ‘Mission Accomplished’. I am very happy with this one. The standards are a light blue lavender with a deep orange spot in the center. Falls are a rich burnt orange with a lighter edge. Beards are a rich tangerine to red. The icing on the cake is the tall well branched and budded stems. ‘Mission Accomplished’ also inherited its great vigor from Shockaholic. Sdlg TN157ZZ: sib to Big Flirt X Shockaholic

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.

NEXT CHAPTER (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason-late 38” (97cm)
Slight fragrance This Iris is for the lovers of brown. Now if we could just make the standards a clean white we could take it to the next level. At any rate it is truly stunning as is. 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

NO DENYING (Thomas Johnson ’26)
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. Best of all is the plant habits. Vigorous plants cover themselves with an abundance of tall well branched stems creating an amazing floral display. It got its name when I walked by a clump of it in full flower last year and commented to myself there is certainly “no denying” you! Sdlg TN70XX: So Excited sib X Angelic Morn

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.

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
