Perfect In Every Way (T Johnson '26) I know yellow and white has been done before, however, every once in a while one comes along that is so clean and bright, that it blows your mind! That is this iris! Absolutely breathtaking, especially in full clump.

Ready For Dessert (T Johnson '26) I shared an earlier video of this variety when it only had a couple of flowers open, here it is closer to full flower in the commercial rows in our fields. It is very ruffly and lightly laced with large flowers and excellent form. The color is very soft and elegant. One of those flowers that you could just look at all day, that doesn't quite look real. I really like this one.

Mardi Gras Mask (T Johnson '26) I have a bit of an obsession with the dark "pansy face" patterns!! They can be extremely dramatic, such is the case with Mardi Gras Mask. The color and pattern is so intense that you can't help but just stop and stare at this creation. Super strong growth and nice tall well branched show stems help display it very well.

Baker's Secret (T. Johnson '26) The color just glows on this one. A very easy and strong grower with great stems and form. Can easily compete on the show bench, and is a stunning garden variety. Either way we like it very much.

Party Planner (T Johnson '26). Another one of the 2026 releases. Quite a wild color combination with great form and excellent branching on show stems. Wild for sure.

Going Concern (T Johnson '26) This is a very unique and interesting combination of colors. Strong growth on this early flowering variety. Good stems and buds and also proving to be a very interesting parent.

Dance Off (T Johnson '21) Continuing with the bicolor theme, here is Dance Off. Really a beautiful color combination, with large ruffled flowers on well branched stems. Very healthy clean blue green foliage as well.

Word For Word (T Johnson '23) bicolors were the first pattern I was attracted to when I started growing iris as a child. There has been a lot of advancements in them since then with much wider and ruffled falls and many with clean hafts like Word For Word. The form on Word For Word is perfection with great stems and growth, truly a very classy iris.

We Are Magic (T Johnson '24) Not a lot of the rimmed bicolor iris have pink as a base color. We Are Magic is also a great parent for some pretty fun new and different color combinations and patterns that are starting to emerge. There will be some future intros from its genetics for sure. We Are Magic is in itself a stunning iris and a bit hard to capture its true splendor on film. Well worth growing!!

Something To Talk About (T Johnson '24) Large, wide and ruffled flowers in a very sharp bicolor pattern. Incredible stems that will certainly be in contention on the show bench! Stunning!
