KISSING BOOTH (T. Johnson ’23)
Tet MTB Early-Midseason-Late 26” (66cm)
Slight fragrance. There was never any doubt whether this iris would get introduced or not. The color is rich pink with orange tones and orange beards, but what makes Kissing Booth shine is its bloom habits. The last two years it bloomed heavily for an entire month. Absolutely spectacular in full flower that lasts and lasts. Lots of buds and good form on nicely branched stems. Lots of sequential stalks contribute to its long bloom season. Sdlg.

DANCE FESTIVAL (Thomas Johnson ’26) TB Early-midseason-late 38” (97cm) Slight fragrance Lines, lines and more lines, I have been working with this pattern for a number of years and we have gotten some very interesting things. If I was to choose one word to describe this it would be floriferous! It completely covers itself in tall well branched and budded stems and blooms for a long time. It is not the first to start blooming but about mid way through the early season it starts and goes and goes. The picture kind of speaks for itself. Checkout the website for additional pictures of it including clump shots. Sdlg. TN171ZZ. Open Heart X Leave Me Breathless

EYE LOVE YOU (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason-late 36” (91cm)
Slight musky fragrance I have been working on the “pansy face” pattern, or you could say “signal” pattern in TB’s for quite a few years. Trying to get different colors in the pattern has been fun. ‘Eye Love You’ has a lot going on in the color department. Standards are a flesh to peach with large pink centers and a lavender infusion up the midrib. Falls are a light lavender with a deep maroon signal. Upon close inspection there is a very faint lighter peach band. The orange beard sitting on top of the maroon signal just makes the whole thing pop. It certainly makes for a brilliant display in the fields and certainly won’t be mistaken for any other Iris. Sdlg TN31ZZ: Truth Or Dare X Autumn Tease
