Tall Bearded
JUST A KISS AWAY (2009)
(Lotus Land X Queen of Angels) Love is JUST A KISS AWAY. Delicious
lacy opulence. The first of three or four intros from this great cross.
Makes big clumps here. Show branching. Seedling 3208Z. $40
PALE FIRE
(2009) (Opposing Forces X Frosted Pumpkin)
Wonderful distinctive color blend. Delicate pastels accented by a flame of a
beard. A good grower in Colorado. Seedling 3155Q. $40.
EXHIBITIONIST
(2009) ((Conjuration x Gigolo) X (Gallant Rogue
x Magic Kingdom)) This one demands center stage! Lavender amoena with blazing
red-orange in throat. When well-grown, EXHIBITIONIST shows off long fuzzy horns
with a small lavender dot at the end, matching the falls! Seedling 8134. $40.
POINT COUNTERPOINT
(2009) (High Priestess X Ring Around
Rosie) Big bright variegata from unusual parentage. The first of
what could be several introductions from 'High Priestess'. Vigorous and hardy. Good stalks.
Should be an interesting parent. Seedling 2133 var. $40
Arilbred Irises
BABYLON PRINCE
(OGB-) (2009) (Nordic Sky X Smash) A new type of arilmedian. 'Nordic
Sky' is Howard Shockey's OGB that is being introduced this year. 'Smash' is a
tetraploid MTB from the Craigs. Flowers are smaller that those of a typical
arilbred. Three-fourths of gross proceeds will be donated to the Aril Society
International. BABYLON PRINCE will also be available in the ASI Plant Sale.
Seedling 340C. $25.
Standard Dwarf Bearded Irises
DONE ME WRONG (2009)
(Gaily Forward X ((Muchacha x Orange Dazzler) x (Muchacha x Chubby Cheeks)))
Bright yellow with very bright orange beards accented by a lighter area in the
center of the falls. Perhaps she will be truer to you than she was to
me. Seedling 374H. $15
PHILIP MARLOWE (2009) (Dinky Circus X Rebus) Dramatic contrasting dark purple stripes on a white ground. Named for Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled private eye. Seedling 185G. $15
SOME SUNNY DAY (2009) ((Pure Allure x Chubby Cheeks) X ((Muchacha x What Again) x (French Toast x Chubby Cheeks))) Exceptional wide and round form. Soft and smooth. Pure and clean as a Colorado morning. Seedling 3105C. $15
TROUBLEMAKER
(2009) (Marksman X (Pele x Jazzamatazz)) Stunningly
bright beards make TROUBLEMAKER the one that garden visitors notice first. A
prolific bloomer. You'll know who to blame if your irises misbehave. Seedling
143Q. $15

HOW TO ORDER
Either print the order form from this Website, or just list your orders on your own paper. Include payment with the order. Irises will be ready at the end of July. With our late season, we get better plants when we dig a little later than warm weather growers do. We dig all our plants at the same time so that they will all be shipped fresh. Please include $7 for shipping.. Unless you indicate a preference for a refund, substitution will be made for unavailable varieties with plant(s) equal to at least twice the value of the ordered variety.
Generous "EXTRAS" are included with every order.
NO ORDERS CAN BE ACCEPTED AFTER JULY 25.
