Jeff, Walter, et al,
Would the performance of Blyth irises you've grown have more to do
with the location of their source? My sources are all West Coast, as
am I, and every one has bloomed first year and flourished. If your
climate is significantly different, it probably would take them
awhile to adapt (or not).
