I try not to post too many first year seedlings but once in a while a great one pops up and it has to be posted.  Attached is one coming out next year, just a normal spring only iris.  Unfortunately it is not a very good picture due to strong winds, falls are a bit wider and more uniform.  personally really like the standards.  7 to 9 buds, thick stalks.  No name yet.  Sib to IN THE SPOTLIGHT

I try to avoid looking at TB pics, since so many of them can't hack it here in my garden. Not only that, but I'm not a big fan of yellow tones. This one, though, caught my eye in a BIG way. Absolutely gorgeous, Mike.

I looked at the standards and thought, "butter melting over popcorn." Then I looked at the falls and thought, "suede". Hot Buttered Suede? Hot Buttered Rum makes more sense, though the falls aren't quite dark enough to pull it off.
