Hi,
I too am new to the group and enjoying it!!!!!!!
I don't have many, but my favorite so far is Victoria Falls. It
has multiplied and put up with my learning where others have not
made it :(. We just moved so what few I have are still at home
with my parents - I'm hoping they all start mult. so I can divide them
and get a start. We live close so I still get to see them. But I cann't
wait for my own Iris bed... we are clearing brush now to build one :).

Oh, how unfair--this is the first year I've had iris planted--I want to
play, too! So how about the iris I'm most looking forward to seeing bloom?
I have no idea what the name of it is--it's been handed down and its name
lost somewhere along the way. But it's an absolutely gorgeous thing--very
clear white standards, purpley-blue falls, and an orange tongue. It's just
very lightly ruffled--not really frilly at all. My aunt dug it out of my
great-grandmother's bed (flower bed, not the one inside <g>) years ago.
And it's almost indestructible, so I'm sure it will bloom even after being
drug from SC to KS. Last year, my aunt dug up several to give to a friend,
who never got around to picking them up, so Aunt Jean just tossed them
under the back deck. The darn things have taken hold and are blooming,
even in almost total shade (although they're later than the ones in the
*real* bed).
If anyone has any ideas of its name, I'd sure like to know. So far, it's
been dubbed "MiMa" among the family members (that's what we called my great
grandma)--tougher than nails, almost indestructible, apparently meaner than
cat-dirt.
