I have lost Game Plan twice, yet it thrives for you. I have ordered it again and will probably give it a fourth try if I must. I know it likes this area (obviously, since it originated an hour down the road) but it sure doesn't like me. I have always liked Pixie Dust and very few iris have Violet Shimmers branching or presentation. Local Color is striking.

Walter, thanks for sharing this list - I've got to look these up - I'm only familiar with one of them. Marvin E.

Okay, Walter, this is even harder than narrowing down my 12 favorite medians. Ever year I order more new irises, and every year my list of favorites grows. The ones I've grown the longest and still consider favorites are
Flights of Fancy
Alizes
Chinese Treasure
Berry Sherbet
Creative Stitchery
Magharee
Marriage Vows
Ringo
Conjuration
Glitzy or Thinking Out Loud
Splashacata
Snowbrook

Uh oh, that's 12 and I still haven't mentioned Best Bet, Coral Chalice, English Charm, Beverly Sills, Erleen Richeson, Mary Frances, Kiss of Kisses, Lullabye of Spring, Edith Wolford,etc!

Among my favorites that are new for me are ASCII Art, Lemon Chess, Impressionist, Frimousse, Braggadocio, Fashion Designer, Mood Swing, Vapor, Ruban Bleu.
Shae

Thanks for growing two of mine!

Walter Moores

I planted Violet Shimmer last year, along with a couple others of yours, Mr. Moores, but have not heard of the others, and will have to look them up.

Thanks for the list.

Most of mine are too new, so I really can't give a list yet.

Iris pallida, the plain green one, has bloomed and increased mightily here for over 100 years now. It might be a pallida cultivar, but if so, I don't have a clue. We found them under the lilacs by the foundation of the old house that had been here 100 years ago. So unless they seeded there, they are over 100 years old.

"..branching and presentation" set me off on a google search. Oooh I LIKE 'Violet Shimmers' photos!
I found it on "Nola's Iris Garden" on the web & she grows quite a few of your cultivars, Mr. Moores.
I will be placing an order for several - unless you sell directly...

Here is the Moores list on Nola's website:

This is really going to be hard. The ones I have listed seem to do very well here, bloom every year, and good increases.

Blenheim Royal
Florentine Silk
In Love Again
Louisa's Song
Mary Frances
Ocelot
Paul Black
Rio
Sea Power
Sunnyside Delight
Temple of Time
Undercurrent

Also love Bronze Peacock, Chuckwagon, Drinks at Sunset, Fiery Temper, Final Call, Wearing Rubies, etc.....

Mareas.. Superstition also has quite a few of Walter's introductions with pictures, including newer ones Flying Down to Rio and Miniver Rose. Here is a link below. Their catalog has a lot more iris than the ones pictured.
