I agree Jeff, Thornbird and Unicorn are excellent here. Sutton's Fird
Beard opened today for the first time with only horns ;-( It's
beautiful though, wow ! George's Eagle Landing is also a very nice
iris.
TIME TRAVELLER is supposed to be a cold zone rebloomer, does it rebloom
for you Jeff ?
Snow Spoon ha been on my wish list for many years now, Maybe I'll order
it this year.
Thanks for the info
