Alas I have none! Well, not completely true - I added Game Plan this past fall. Here's an internet shot. Please, show me your Gs! :)

Thanks, redwolfdoc. Most of these are fairly new to us and are just beginning to settle in.

'Game Plan' looks gorgeous. If SDBs survived here 'Gizmo' would be on the list. Love the pastel lav. beard against the beige-pinks-violets. 'Gnus Flash' is one of my favorites of Kasperek's broken colors. Oh my. 'Grand Canyon'. Is that one of MU's Kleinsorge's? I don't think there has been any better blend of these colors.

Eureks, one of those sit up moments when I saw 'Golden Promenade'. Coral Sunset was as close as I could find for an id on an order that was hopelessly mis-named. I wasn't sure of it altho it did look like Snowpeak's photo. Oh, phooey, just consulted AIS and take a look at the 2 'Golden Promenade' pictures contributed.

Golden Promenade might be "Piping Hot" although not sure will work on it. Sorry

Catching up.

Gala Madrid - Peterson, AM'71, oldie form with almost dog ear falls.

Galway - Keppel, HM'99, IB

Glad Choice - Pierce, HM'99, had to angle the camera to capture color.

Gladys Austin- Osborne, HM'87, SA, awful pic. and didn't save original to improve. Falls are a violet-lavender. A very cheerful iris.

Golden Galaxy - at least that is how it was sold. I have my doubts. It was part of the entirely mis-labeled order.

a few more oldie G's (tall beardeds)

Gnus Flash - again, showing the burgundy shade.

Grand Circle - Sutton, HM'06, a very pretty iris, shall buy this year.

Grand Old Opry - Meek'87, no awards but I love this iris' color and form. Five years to bloom because it was in too much shade.

Grape Parfait - MLauer, HM'10

Gypsy Belle - Hamner, AM;79, a clump of these knocks your socks off.

She is impossible. Not as rose as above and not as brown as below.

Gypsy Romance - Schreiner, AM'98, I laid in wait with a tripod to capture the rich gorgeous color of this one. Finally close to 6 pm. a picture came true.

As she ages her standards open.

Thanks for looking.
