>Evening everyone,

>I went to a local popular nursery yesterday to get a flat of impatiens and
>somehow ended up in the perennial room.  They had miniature irises
blooming.
>They had SDB 'Pixie Princess', SDB 'Little Episode' and another SDB
labelled
>as 'Eye Bright'.  This last one was a cutey, but it wasn't 'Eye Bright' for
>certain.  I've grown 'Eye Bright' since '94.  When I mentioned this to the
>plant supervisor, she looked at me with that look - whadaya know lady.  It
>fast disappeared when I mentioned my Iris Display garden status.

>I couldn't tell her what the unk iris was though, but it could explain how
I
>too have that unk.  It's one I've been trying to identify for many a year
>myself.  Over the last few years in particular, I'm getting really tired of
>buying a plant for it's colour or name, and finding it not to be what I
>bought, especially if it was expensive to boot!  I now return those plants.
>I've included a picture, in case anyone does know what it is.  I wonder if
>it's 'Ritz'.

>It grows about 10" tall here and multiplies quickly.

>Thank you.
