<< I would suspect that you have an iris that will take up space in your
garden and perhaps give you one bloom year in five. There has to be some
reason why it is such a rarely found iris! Up to the time Phil gave it
distribution, it was only grown by Presby and Edinger. >>
Well, rats. And I paid a buck for the poor thing, too. Somebody or other in
Northern Virginia is growing it, for that is where the little rhizome came
from. Wonder if it blooms for them? Wonder what it looks like? I shall
encourage it to do amusing things and if it doesn't in a year or two I shall
send it to Dorothy who can take a whack at it.
Thank you, Mike. So it does have an interesting story after all!
