This is the end of the list. If anyone would like some recommendations for
several I believe are the best performing and most beautiful, here are my 10
favorites: REMINISCENCE (Forgive me for putting my own creation on the list,
but I do like itand it did win the Dr. Loomis Award for getting the most
points in judging and in competition with all types of irises in the Dr.
Loomis Test Gardens), ROSEMARYS DREAM, DESERT STORM, BUMBLEBEE DEELITE,
DISCO JEWEL, BILLIE THE BROWNIE, FROSTED VELVET, SPANISH COINS, DAPPLED
PONY, and the winner of this years Williamson-White Award, the delightfully
named PETITE MONET (Hybridized by a lovely lady from Charlotte, NC, Katherine
Steele).If you have limited space, such as a townhouse garden, these MTBs (I
prefer their older name "Table Irises") are ideal. They fit into the border
much easier than tall bearded irises, and make a mass of lovely color, with
loads of stalks and blooms. Clarence Mahan in VA
