Very similar to Naples but the standards a sandy cream colour whereas Naples is a slightly apricot pinkish cream colour, but unless they were side by side (which they are) you couldnt tell the difference

Thanks Stevie/Milky
Tog, I will have 14 new ones in July..roll on next year. Also have 3 new Sibiricas and a Louisiana plus the lovely iris Meanie sent...Im also getting a few more dwarfs and a couple of pumilas, so I should have iris from about Feb until July next year and if the repeat irises get enough sun this year, maybe August/September too! Thanks for looking Tog.

I feel like Bruce Forsyth Nancym, dont know if you got Strictly Come Dancing over there..but every couple that got bad reviews was "his favourite". Well this was mine until Summer Smile came out. Now thats "my favourite" lol!
Im really going for it this year, as you know I ordered your "Chariot of Fire" and also at long last we are getting some Schreiners and Mid Western irises over here.
Have ordered Afternoon Delight and Afternoon in Rio (waited a long time for those two) and Raspberry Fudge and really making a statement with Blatant! lol! Im hoping that a few of my remontants will bloom again this year or maybe next. They are certainly growing on strongly since the last feed. Im crossing my fingers!
Thanks Lori, we are certainly getting some great ones being offered for sale now.
