Great photo!  I haven't kept arilbreds long enough to have a big 
patch of any one cultivar yet.  When I moved 2 years ago, I only kept 
1 or 2 pieces of each rhizome.  In a couple years, though, I'll have 
something good like that!

Luckily I don't have the problem that you have with birds & purple irises.
