SDB Midseason-late 14” (36cm)
Light fragrance White ground with lemon plicata overlay on both standards and falls. There is also a few faint lilac plicata dots throughout the flower. A very large deep blue beard certainly makes the whole flower pop. A unique pattern and color combination. SdlgTO75D: Believe X Cheers To You

TB Early-midseason 39” (99cm)
Sweet fragrance Standards have a medium blue pink center becoming lighter towards the edge. Falls are lavender white with a dotted blue lavender plicata edge with pink undertones. Beards are a mixture of orange, lavender and white adding another dimension in this very pleasing and warm color combination. Really a very beautiful and elegant iris that has lots of buds on nice show stems. Parentage is unknown

MEET IN THE MIDDLE (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason 37” (94cm)
Sweet fragrance White Standards are infused medium yellow up the midrib. Falls are white with a wide lavender dotted plicata band. Hafts are a dark red violet. Every flower has a deep violet dotted center line that varies from one flower to the next. Beautiful wide and ruffled form with gorgeous stems. We have used ‘Meet In The Middle’ a lot in hybridizing with fantastic results. Sdlg TO229B: Road Not Taken X Tenacity

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.

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
