I just... will make room somehow...

What are some irises you all will make room for in 2021?

Here is a test seedling sneak peak on Facebook from Mid-america, and I thought it was amazing.

I hope they release some of these "pansy-faced" ones on 2021.

Wow. Where's the jaw-drop emoji when you need it?

The gilded beards are much prettier in mid america's fbook page photo than in my screenshot.

Aw thanks!

I've mostly been lurking until now.

I'm a novice irisarian, but irises bring me real joy. (Anxiety also

)

I also infected my dad with the iris madness last year.

I am really impressed by the rhizomes I bought from Schreiners this year. They arrived at the end of summer, right when my non-covid breathing complaint flared up. I'm not proud, I left the rhizomes in the box in the garage for a little over a month.

I put them in the ground, finally, and crossed my fingers. And I cannot believe the daughters I am seeing on both Fathom and Imbroglio. Those poor ladies, drying out in my garage, and they set off like champions.

I definitely want to give schreiners more of my business. They are building up their online catalog now, and already there are lots of new beauties that are new-to-me, but not their 21 releases yet. Actually the oranges and reds are really striking. They don't match my colors, but wow.

I could make an exception. Maybe.

Schreiners has been in business for several family generations so definitely know what they are doing.

Hey there neighbor! (Nearly-neighbor)

We will have to compare notes on weather and local info. Especially if there's an iris garden in the region.

Tumalo Sunset is a great one. I really like. It stopped me in my tracks when I first saw it at Schreiner's. It's not listed as fragrant, but it has a sweet, peachy scent.

Deschutes is a nice one too if you like blues.
