Mark,'
This is the second year I have bloomed GERALD DARBY.  It bloomed with the
Louisianas, but right now it is still  blooming, the Louisianas are about
gone, and the Japanese iris are opening.  I guess because I like BIG flowers
I may have shortchanged it a little, but it is very pretty in its own
delicate way, and certainly the foliage is a wonderful, clean blue-green.
It grows well here in the Tennessee rain forest, where we have now had rain
for 16 consecutive days.  Or maybe it's 17.  I'm suffering from a brain cloud.
