GOOD FEELING (T. Johnson ’21)
SDB Late 12” (30.5cm)
Salmon pink standards. Falls have an apricot pink ground with a deep violet plicata fall wash surrounded with a salmon pink band. Nicely formed flowers with three to four buds. Good Feeling presents itself very well with elegant and floriferous clumps.

GUSSIED UP (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Mid 35” (89cm)
Stark white standards with a slight lavender wash in the center. Falls are a deep rich purple with white lines and a white rim. Gold style crests show through between the standards providing a nice contrast. Orange red beards add to the effect. Very showy and a garden visitor favorite. Strong growth and good stems add to the appeal.

HEADLINE NEWS (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Early 30” (76cm)
Wow is what I always say when I see this one bloom. The flowers are large and very dramatic. Lavender standards with a slightly darker infusion in the midrib. Falls are a very deep plush purple black with a very ruffled lavender band and then a thin deep purple wire edge. The beards are a brilliant orange. A very clean brilliant contrast. Makes startling clumps!! Highly recommended.

HEADSHOT (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Midseason 33” (84cm)
Brilliant canary yellow self with very deep, wide black cherry fall band. Beards are orange blending to yellow at the tip. A super strong contrast of colors between the yellow petals and the fall band. The flowers have full rounded and overlapping form on nicely branched stems. Very showy and notable in the garden.

HEAR ME ROAR (T. Johnson ’19)
TB Midseason 37” (94cm)
Lemon yellow standards and edge on rich mahogany falls. Very rich smooth colors with nice ruffling on good stems carrying 8 to 9 buds. The ruffled falls show the petal reverse which is yellow adding to the effect. A very loud distinct color separation. Hear me Roar is a sib to Autumn Tease.

HEY LOOK AT ME (P. Black 21)
SDB Midseason-Late 12” (30cm)
The color demands you look. Vivid yellow gold standards flushed apricot stand open enough to reveal mid apricot styles. Burnished apricot falls blend to gold edges and are set afire with big, brilliant orange beards. Clumps scream, “Hey Look At Me”.

HIT THE JACKPOT (T. Johnson ’21)
SDB Mid 13” (33cm)
I have a bit of a fascination for beards especially on the SDBs. In my opinion the beard can make or break the flower. The large blue frosted beards on this canary yellow self definitely “make” the blooms on Hit the Jackpot. The white patch under and around the beard only adds to the contrast. Startling and beautiful in clump!!

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY (P. Black ‘20)
IB Early-Late 24” (61cm)
This exuberant IB has rampant growth and explodes with color from all the flowers. Pale peach styles peek out from mid purple standards. Dark purple falls have light peach luminata patches surrounding vivid orange beards. Falls have irregular light peach broken color streaks. Two branches plus spur provide 7 buds and a very long bloom season. Fertile IB.

IGNITE THE LIGHT (T. Johnson ’21)
TB Early-Mid 36” (91cm)
It has been hard for me to capture the beauty of this one in a photo. Very light yellow standards are heavily flushed deep golden yellow at the base and in the center transitioning to veining at the edge. Falls are a rich reddish brown with a lemon yellow and white blended band. A clump of this blooming in the full sun is spectacular. An excellent garden iris that is well branched, budded and floriferous.

I'M NOT STABLE (Black ‘20)
TB Early-Midseason 32” (81cm)
It’s much more fun to be a little wild and crazy and a bit mixed up. This broken color type will liven up your garden. Pale buff pink standards are randomly splashed mid lilac. Mid peach style crests are streaked lilac. Mid buff peach falls are randomly streaked from dark purple to light red purple. Hafts can be mid pink to butter. Each flower is different. Strong growth provides stalks with 2-3 branches and 7-9 buds. If you check out the second photo the color is not quite right but it shows the form so much better.

INK PATTERNS (T.Johnson '07)
TB Late Midseason 36" (91 cm)
Exuberantly ruffled white flowers have indelible inky blue stitched plicata bands around falls. Standards have wide washed and stitched plicata bands with dotting inside them and lines up midribs. Styles are wonderfully contrasted, inky, dark indigo. A clump of INK PATTERNS in the garden is unforgettable. It is sure to catch the judge's eye at shows. Wister Medal 2013. Runner up to the Dykes.

INSANIAC (T.Johnson '12)
TB Midseason 33” (84cm)
What a crazy mixed up potpourri of color and pattern. Insaniac carries on with another variation of ‘Wild Angel’ type patterning. Flowers are fuller and more ruffled. The addition of gold edges on standards and styles makes a lovely accent. A clump of Insaniac will be a sure showstopper in your garden.
