Margie -- I'm writing from the Convention. This one was stunted, so I don't know what its height will be, unless some other bloomstalks appear when I return. Don't think they will, though, since this was maiden bloom.
Have seen some of your nice irises here. Think I got one or two pictures and will post them when I return, if so. -- Griff

It hijacked this morning's photos into Adobe Photo Album, and I haven't ýet found a way to liberate them, so am sending this one as is.

Almost all the flowers are taller than usual. Some are well-proportioned, but I'm seeing a worrisome number of TB stalks with no or little branching. Also, some IBs twice their normal height and the flower heads bent over. The IBs and TBs are due to explode during convention week, so I think I'll find a lot of flowers needing staking when I got back. -- Griff
