Patrick,
PCDM is a gorgeous iris in pictures...I too have wondered if it's a light
as the pictures show, or darker. (Did the "others" say?). One of these
days I'm going to grow it because I love the blues with red beards. I have
SKYBLAZE right now but have yet to see it bloom. I heard SUPERMAN also has
a red beard...does anyone who grows it tell me if it's darker than SKYBLAZE?
BTW, I think that sparkling effect is called "diamond dusting" in some
catalogs, but I'm not sure that's a real term for that effect.
I'll have to give my favorite blues vote after I see all my blues bloom
this year, most haven't shown their colors yet. <g>

zone 8 of SC, Myrtle Beach where we're getting rain today which the iris
should LOVE.
