We have grown BEVERLY SILLS and EDITH WOLFORD for 8 years now and they
consistently bloom for mom and I.  It is true however, that some years are
better than others, but they tend to follow the general trend of the rest of
the iris.  EDITH WOLFORD has probably been the best of the two.  We get
exceptional color and massive blooming almost every year.
