MADLY IN LOVE (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Late 38” (97cm)
Standards are a blend of salmon and flesh pink deeper at the edges and with a heavy deep violet flush in center of petals. Falls are a milk white with a peach pink border and white tipped tangerine beards. Beautiful show stems with ample buds. The flowers are heavily ruffled and lightly laced. Another welcome addition to the late season bloomers. A very intriguing color. Beautiful!!

MY GAL (P. Black '21)
BB Midseason-Late 26” (66cm)
What a well-proportioned beauty ‘My Gal’ is! She’s a color that will turn heads. Full and tightly formed blooms are a rich medley of peach, pink, and apricot with big vivid orange beards to get everyone’s attention. She’s not shy and will give you 9-11 blossoms on show stalks with 3 branches and spur. Superb parent.

NEW TWIST (P. Black ‘20)
SDB Early- Midseason 13” (33cm)

NOT MY CIRCUS (P. Black ‘20)
SDB Midseason-Late 11” (28cm)
It is a striking luminata. Mid lilac standards open enough to showcase mid pink styles. Light peach luminata patches streak into dark grape purple falls. Vivid orange beards scream for attention.

OPEN HEART (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Midseason 33” (84cm)
Cream Standards are flushed and washed pink and lavender. Falls have a peach to orange haft area and slightly lighter fall edge. Deep purple diffused lines radiate from below the beards to near petals edge. Even the beards are a strange blend of coral pink to lavender. A lovely color combination that is hard to describe.

Icy lavender blue standards have a salmon-peach central flush. Falls are a smooth and rich violet purple with a lighter lavender edge. Great stems, growth, buds, form and very floriferous making quite a statement. We like everything about this iris.

PUZZLED (T. Johnson ‘15)
TB Midseason-Late 37” (94cm)
Yes, it will always be a puzzle as to what the parentage is since the tag was lost. ‘Puzzled’ is such a unique creation that most people won’t care. Standards are buttery peach with orangish texture veins. Wide and ruffled falls are an interesting irregular maroon wash over light lavender ground blending lighter toward edges. Beards are dark orange. Show stalks have ample buds. Growth is strong and increase abundant.

SASSY SENORITA (P. Black '21)
IB Midseason-Late 25” (63cm)
From your first look, she’ll have you wound around her little finger. Shimmering light pink flowers are washed darker true pink, no peach tones at all. Intriguing light green veins ascend the standards midribs and web out over the falls. Mid pink styles stand behind darker pink beards. Strong growing clumps are filled with stalks.

SAY THE WORD (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Mid 35” (89cm)
Some iris just remind me of food, perhaps it is just my insatiable appetite talking, but this one reminds me of some sort of yummy mango flavored dessert. Say the Word has very ruffled mango to peach blended standards and edge on white falls with a deep mango wash on the hafts and below the beard. A good grower and bloomer, Say the Word is a stunner; especially in full sun the color really shines. Very unique and won’t be confused with another. Gorgeous!!

SHOCKAHOLIC (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Early 30” (76cm)
Light pink standards are overlaid light orange and have deeper orange veins in center and peach band. Falls are a rich deep burnt orange with fully saturated tangerine beards. I wish the branching was a bit wider and the stems a bit taller but the color is dynamite, simply nothing like it!! Always stops visitors to the garden in their tracks!

SO MUCH MORE (P. Black '21)
TB Midseason-Very Late 32” (81cm)
Oh my, there is ‘So Much More’ lace but look between the styles and there are what appear to be little floating islands of partial styles. It is very unique and rarely occurs. It is a stable and consistent trait. Mid pink standards are banded butter cream. Mid peach styles have lacy butter cream crests. White falls have peach hafts and butter cream laced edges. Stalks have 3 branches with 6-7 buds.

THUNDERING APPLAUSE (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Early 36” (91.5cm)
Coming out of my lined pattern breeding, THUNDERING APPLAUSE pushes the pattern a step further. We are finally getting wide ruffled and even slightly laced form. Creamy white standards are infused peach pink. Falls have a light lemon base that is overlaid with violet lines radiating from the heart of the flower and becoming more of a wash near the edge. Then the whole pattern is framed by a nice lemon-yellow band. Tangerine beards help to compliment the pattern. Super strong growth on floriferous clumps.
