CULT: the best TB's here

I got an offlist request for a list of 90s irises that have done well
here.  I am behind on note taking, but here is a partial list of AM & HM
winners (1999 - 2002) that are among the best here.

These are among the very best:
CELEBRATION SONG (Schreiner's) Best
NIGHT GAME (K. Keppel) Best
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (Larry Lauer) Best
SUDDEN IMPACT (R. Tasco) Best - not in the 'corn rows' so bloom isn't
the best, but it is thriving.
SWINGTOWN (Schreiner's) Best
WAR CHIEF (Schreiner's) Best, stalks miniaturized a bit

These either have some problems with bloom production or are too new to
evaluate:
COLOR ME BLUE (Schreiner's)Too new to tell, but fairly good
DYNAMITE (Schreiner's) Too new to tell, but fairly good
FROSTING (J. Gatty) Excellent growth but not always able to bloom
PACIFIC DESTINY (L. Lauer) Excellent growth but stalks always
miniaturized
ROSALIE FIGGE (J. McKnew) Excellent growth but not always able to bloom
SMILING FACES (K. Keppel) Excellent growth but miniaturized
VIZIER (J. Ghio) Excellent growth, slightly miniaturized stalks
GREAT GATSBY (J. McWhirter) Too new to tell, but good so far.
MELTED BUTTER (C. Fan) Too new to tell, but excellent so far
ROMANTIC EVENING (J. Ghio) Too new to tell, but excellent so far
SEAKIST  Schreiners Too new to tell, but promising.
SKYWALKER (Schreiner's) Too new to tell, but promising
YAQUINA BLUE Schreiners Too new to tell -slow grower but one of the
best so far

I will try to update my notes and add to this.
