CULT: Early Bloomers    

Spring IS coming!  Today in Tempe, AZ at the hotel we were staying at, I saw 
a beautiful dark purple Louisana Iris in bloom, with 5 more stalks coming - 
then got home here at the ranch near Tucson to find stalks emerging on Splash 
Dance (Shepard '87) an aribred that has TB growth habits & is usually my 
earliest bloomer.  This iris was one of the very first group of irises I ever 
bought, and was the best grower of the bunch. (I killed about half of that 
first try, but was hooked!)  So, I will probably always have a soft spot for 
it in my heart, and a spot for it in my garden.  I wonder if I am the only 
one with a special fondness for those earliest bloomers, even if they aren't 
the most stellar of cultivars, otherwise.  They seem to mean more that those 
who show up as part of a large crowd.
