"2019 SDB introduction, not the greatest form but that sort of allows for the focus to go to the beards. Awesome and striking in clumps! Applied for name of Blueberry Wine but not confirmed. grows and blooms vigorously.

Gift card special is still going on through the 24th of Dec. https://www.suttoniris.com/pro...

Thank you for posting Sutton's intros, Debra! I tip my hat to you.

Some must-have beauties in there for sure. D'Oh!

Tom Johnson is also showing off the new intros on MAG's Facebook page. He's just finished the Miller intros and the Blyths are next! Hurray!

...and shame on whoever it was who had me look at the Keppel intros!! D'Oh! Hilarious!
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

"2019 SDB introduction, sib to an early SDB post. The entire cross turned out pretty nice with two making the cut and passing on to introduction. Might have a little soft spot for lined iris, still working on them here and there since George's introduction Circus Circus back in 1997. Nice to see the lines on SDBs too."

Nice little SDB there...am I crazy when I say it looks like a little Autumn Circus?

Thanks, Robin! The avatar is a picture of one of our baby chickens - she isn't named yet, but she is so cute. That picture of her is great. It's my favourite of all the chicken related ones.

I just noticed a bud on Autumn Circus today while I was cleaning up the leaves.

It was one that had been chomped by the deer the other day...so half a bud! Sad Sighing!

"Another 2019 SDB intro that will be available in Feb. Fun dotting and nice color contrast with really nice, wide form. Blooms mid TB season so far which is unusual for a SDB. Applied for name of "Spiced" (congratulations and thanks to Joanne Jones for coming up with the name first) 5 buds, 14" tall with strong growth and bloom."

Ooooh. That's lovely. I eventually want to get a lot of smaller irises (yes, Bonnie and Liz have stolen my heart for the littles.... Lovey dubby Hilarious! ) and it'd be nice to have a little surprise blooming amidst the giants.

"Gift card special is still going on and will be until December 24th however we decided to spice it up a bit and throw in an introduction contest too. Prize will be a 2019 tall bearded Sutton's introduction of our choosing (based on post winter inventory). We will draw 2 names from all the gift cards ordered on Cyber Monday and the month of December upt to the 24th.
How it works: For each $15 of purchased gift cards your name will be placed in the drawing. For example, if you order a $150 gift card you will get 10 entries plus the 20% additional free gift card. Drawing will be held on Dec. 27th and winners will be notified through messenger or email (if we have your email address).
Flower pictured is 2019 TB introduction with the applied for name of "Paradise Cove"."
