I received 5 seeds from  the Signa exchange in 2002. They were from lot O233 seed from Aunt Shirley, a tetraploid. Four germinated and I gave one to a friend. The third

Giving your babies away?!  That should be illegal!  LOL, I am so protective of my baby irises, at least until they bloom.  Then if they are ugly, I'll give them away.  Hahhaha.

Yours look good, Al.  I especially like the 2nd one with its paler tones.  So how do you grow them?  In a pond?

I have been so amazed at the performance of my Louisianas in my pond, that I spent 2 days this past weekend transferring 20+ more of them from the garden to the pond.  Next year's bloom should be spectacular (fingers crossed).

I have a bunch of brevicaulis and robusta that I want to transfer to the pond next, but I've simply run out of room.  I have to figure something else out... like maybe buying one of those mini-ponds at the hardware store.
