The disgust comes in when I think of how much I paid for it and I look at it
in the garden only to see three inches of growth on it while I have others
already sending up bloom stalks. Granted SE is a later variety and might
take off any minute, but I felt is should at least do more than three inch
tall fans (it does have two increases so far). I really hope it blooms for me
this year. Please, everyone think good thoughts... >>
I'm thinking very good thoughts for you on that one.
I saw it first in a photo in the AIS 75th Anniversary Bulletin and went
berserk. While I haven't liked it as well in recent photos and have never
seen the actual plant, I think it is a really interesting iris. Schreiner's
has been entirely upfront about the buds, etc., so I figured they have made
it available primarily as a breeder's iris, and that seems legitimate to me
