6 MTB's, one of which is 'That's Red'. I can't remember the names of the other five. I'll be looking for 'Autumn Circus' in the stores this fall, otherwise I'll wait. Oh. Also 'Honorabile', 'Quaker Lady' and 'Wabash' (all historics). Needless to say, consistency is NOT my strong point.

OK, I confess: this year's order is mostly Japanese irises:
Vermillion Sunset
Trance
Garnet Royalty
Pleasant Earlybird
Indigo Delight
Summer Splash
Japanese Harmony
Oriental Royalty
Dramatic Pattern
Epimethius
Flashing Koi

Tall Bearded: Mesmerizer from Jain

Border Bearded irises:
Baboon Bottom
Pink Bubbles

And no, I don't know where I'll plant all of these at this moment. Will figure that out later.....

Spuria: Betty Cooper, Adriatic Blue, Megagold, Missouri Sunset, Missouri Clouds (spuria are new to me)

Japanese: Sakura No Sono, Bellender Blue, Ink on Ice, Slumbering Dragon, Lion King, Electric Rays, Wings Aflutter

I have no room. Why do we all do this to ourselves?

Because we like it!

Looks like Wild Passions is a common order this year. I ordered it too and a few others some have mentioned.

Littlebit -- I too have not hit my AIS sales yet. Hoping to pick up SIBs only this year unless I find a really super cool recent intro or missing Dykes winners, or SDBs, IBs, ... Oh well, you get the picture.

i think whats NOT on my order list is almost more accurate... i went too wild to fill the thread with my shopping lists, but the gophers ate so many i felt i needed to go beserk. and that i did... should be a very fun spring!

Mid-America: Louisa's Song, Wearing Rubies, Aardvark Lark, Ocelet, Paul Black, Temple of Time, Cast a Spell, Drinks at Sunset, Devoted, Cats Eye, (bonus Full Figured and Cool Confidence). Keppel: Miami Beach, Fiery Temper, Decadence, Musician, Bel Esprit, Rio, Game Plan. Plus, he is very generous with bonuses. I was going to order from Aitken's too, but decided I had better wait until next year. (He he, these are the four I told my hubby I only ordered. I guess he will think I got a lot of bonuses this year. (Yeh right!)

Shadow

Shadow tsk tsk tsk but what the heck, you can't ever have too many bonuses....

Shadow that's why I got my hubby as involved in irises as I am..That way I don't have to fib.

littlebit

I've ordered so much I'm embarrassed. The iris people are all so nice and then there is that minimum order thing--although I think I progressed well beyond the minimum on many orders.

And they all are so nice about letting you add more later!

I think I've ordered more than 50 iris--not a lot for those of you with acreage, but I'm in a place where we measure front yards in the square feet-- and I'm not very far into the triple digits. I may have to sneak a few into neighbor's yards!

Terry

Oh so many good ones out there. I wasn't going to order any this year but the spring bloom was so popular that I just had too. I think I have ordered 85 now. Almost as many as last year. Made some new beds, with hired back hoe, but I don't know if I have enough space for all of the new ones. Yikes! I don't want to squeeze them in so I may need more garden space. I wanted Louisa's Song but found it too late. Then could not find the one some fella showed in the gallery, can't find my notes but it began with an A, everyone when wild for, including me. Thank you all who post pictures, such inspiration and reliable sorces. I will post mine sometime this winter, I shot some nice ones!
Janene

First year ordering Iris.

Clarence (bearded, blue and white)
Immortality (bearded, white)
Jennifer Rebecca (bearded, pink tinged lilac)
Pink Attraction (bearded, clear pink)

Let me say that those repeaters sure are expensive. Then again I'm used to buying roses so in comparison they are cheap-Cheap-CHEAP!!!

This is my first year of ordering Iris as well. Here is what I have ordered;

Gladys Austin
Baboon Bottom
Liason
Gnus Flash
Brown Lasso
Spiced Tiger
Juicy Fruit
Barbara My Love
Double Vision
Shoot the Moon
Double Shot
Before the Storm

I can hardly wait until they get here.

Ted

I remember one lady on the old iris-L mailing list, detailing how she hid the box until her husband was at golf, then dragged it out and unpacked and planted. She felt soooo guilty about her iris excesses, until someone pointed out to her that her husband probably spent quite a considerable amount on his golf each year - LOL. It's a great hobby - you could be pushing your money into poker machines!

Oh my gosh I went totally NUTS. I have appx. 238 listed. Iris Name and info plus price I paid and who I ordered it from on some of the listings.Approximately 20 of these listings were planted last year when I started my Iris/Daylily gardens! This list is not my last updated list. Probably 25 or so more I've ordered not on this list yet. I'm totally addicted!!!

numama you are my kind a shopper! i have 95% of those, you will be dazzled this spring!

from woodland:

chinese new year
art show
mango tango
so fine
VIRGINIA rudkin
dirty coward

plus 2 great trades.
it amazes me how many different cultivars are out there. so many are new to me and i've collected for a long time.

Hi Numama, Well you were brave enough to list all yours! Congradulations. It is fun to see all the different ones. I have about 50 percent of those listed and have not even heard of a third of the others. Makes me think I must take a look around. I don't think one can ever have or know all of them. But it is fun to think about it. Just can't order more however. I am the one who has to plant and take care of all of them Haven't heard of Nola's.
Thanks for your list.
Sis

I can't imagine that I really need to chime in but why not? :)

The most important are gifts. Betty Wilkerson (who I met on my bus at the Convention) sent me one of her intro's 'Summer Radiance'. I can't wait to see it in bloom.

And I feel terrible about this but I've lost the e-mail address of the forum member that sent me I. tectorum. So if you sent it to me and you read this Thank-you!

I ordered from Schreiner's again this year. I've got piles and piles of lists of cultivars I meant to order but they all seemed to disappear when it came time to order. So I just went throught the catalog and picked out the one's that either stood out the most or that I've wanted for years.

I ended up with:
Brown Lasso
Copatonic
Copper Classic
Crowned Heads
Ghost Train
Man About Town
Mariposa Skies
Play With Fire
Polished Manners
Puccini
Recurring Delight
Red Hawk
Sky And Sun
Snowed In

I may be calling them up shortly since the confirmation postcard said they were supposed to ship the week of July 1.

Oh and last but not least, when I signed up with the Spuria Society they said they'd be sending me a SPU(my first).

I hope this is of interest to someone. :)

Brock

Looks like you got a few that are one my 2nd wave of orders. I got Tangled Web, Dragon Drums, and Sky and Sun. I also got a few more SDBs and other medians. I think I'm up to a total of 90 or so new irises and trade season isn't finished yet.

So needless to say when I see lists like Numama I just shake my head and remember when I first begin finding all the cool iris centers online and now look at where I am.

Roni

Dear Numama!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I am out of room to plant but still have bought more irises this year than I know what to do with! I have been beating myself up about my iris addiction problem. You make me feel so much better....and it IS a HEALTHY addiction!
Merlie

Believe it or not, I can't remember all that I ordered, and I didn't even order that many! I should have made copies of my orders, and kept the post card or e-mail that Superstition sent me. (Can you believe I managed to delete/lose both? All this paper around the house and it's never what I want.)

I ordered historic/fragrant iris. I know I ordered I. germanica, I. pallida Dalmatica, Archeveque, Crimson King, Eleanor Roosevelt, Picador -- that's all I remember for sure. Well, it should be a nice surprise when they arrive.

I'm new to this forum and fairly new to I. germanica

My orders
"After the Dawn"
"Colour Me Blue"
"Congratulations"
"New Moon"
"Olympiad"

What the @#$% was I thinking?? Where am I going to put these? I must be outta my mind. I plan to put them all around the rose beds.... but the ones that I've had for several yrs, have so overtaken the other rose beds..... I'm gonna have to dig 'em out here pretty soon. Yikes..... neverending garden torture. And the temps are up in the 100's now!!!

beth we really otta trade sometime, like in fall when the temps are cool! 106 today, i dread all my orders coming soon myself... if you got woodlands i should be close on your heels, i ordered my largest one ever there... GULP!

What Robin would say if he saw Beth's list, "HOLY IRIS ORDER BATMAN!"

LOL

Beth, ya gotta post pictures of your flowers next year. Are they alllllll Talls?

Roni

Yep, Roni, they're mostly TB's. Hey, I just realized, I still haven't ordered from Sutton's. Aw heck, not sure I will tho. This is a lot of plants to get in the ground already. And with Sutton's, they give you almost as many bonuses as ordered irises! A couple yrs ago, I got something like 150 irises from them, and I think I ordered maybe 80. So maybe I better stop here! LOL

Roni,
You've got me pegged! I'm a newbie to Iris and went a little overboard! Hard to stop when there are so many beauties out there!
Beth,
I'm glad there is someone out there just as addicted as I am! Do you suppose anyone wants to trade when the time comes?

Garden Torture is so much fun! I'm the only one that will be planting the 200+ Iris I've ordered this year. My sister's husband came today with his tractor to clear the grass for me so I can till and plant.

Upon arriving home from work today I was so excited to see I rec'd two of my orders today. An order from Schreiners and an order from Snowpeak Iris and Daylillies. I am VERY IMPRESSED with my order from Snowpeak, I really expected smaller rhizomes because the prices were so low, but they are nice and big and not dried up at all! Very healthy looking. Anybody out there wanna help me plant? LOL

Nancy U.

Nancy I'd love to help you plant...right after I get my own addiction in the ground and my sons through Allstar season. So far 4 orders/trades have arrived and I've only got one in the ground, sorta as some of them only made it to the holding pot. It's just too dang hot here right now. I am up early today in the hopes of getting them in the ground before the heat.

Snowpeak always does a great job with their irises and they offer great prices too.

>

ROFL!!!! You have a fantastic memory...that was ME! I think I still have a couple scratches on my legs from going in and pulling the boxes out of the shrubs! ;-) I'm not quite as bad hiding it anymore but I still feel like I am getting the raised eyebrows when the boxes hit the front porch! And he doesn't golf so much anymore so I can't use that...lol.
Linda

I'm feeling so much better now that I have read some of your lists. :-) Maybe I should print this topic off and show to hubby when he is about to blow a fuse.

As for me, the majority of my purchases were medians this year. Still have a couple orders to put in. In fact I think I will go do that. Want to get a few more TBs that I saw at convention, Robin of Loxley, T-Rex, Bridal Icing...all goooood stuff.

Linda

Here is what I ordered and I am amazed at how happiness I have with a small plant purchase. I am looking forward to see how these varieties do in my gardens.
