I didn't try. There were originally 15 on the list and anything after the
first 10 simply were deleted.

I think all of us who grow iris feel this way to some extent. That's why I
said now was the time to pick your favorites based on the anticipation
factor of seeing something that has bloomed before. Here's how you do it.
Relax and let your mind wander out in the beds, nooks, crannies and rows of
the garden. Let the memories of what you've seen there in seasons past come
to the fore. As you wander around among the names and memories of the iris
you grow, I think you'll find there will be a few that cause that tickle of
anticipation at seeing them again. It will be stronger than for many
others, though you'll like them too. Make your entry. Try and figure out
why. At the end, you can go back and number the entries and lop it off at
ten. The exercise surprised me in that it only contained 15 out of the
hundreds I have growing. For me the starting point of the memory walk was
the first name on the list. Everything that followed just came as I took
the walk, so the order likely would have been different if I'd followed a
different path in my mind. You'll also find your mind is not tied to a
specific path as your feet are, and the bloom time within a season has no
effect, so the order can get really scrambled.
