Hello,
More wind here, so find the delete key quick.
For TBs, I still like a tailored form in the dark colors. Ruffles and lace
somehow seem to lend themselves better to the pastels. I find them
distracting on a bloom with dramatic coloring. For TB form, I run a middle
course on the falls. Those that have lift without reaching horizontal seem
to add balance to the overall shape.
Do you folks ever create the bloom in your head and then try to find a
match? I'll bet the descriptions would be fascinating and I'm sure yall do
it the same as I do. I'm to chicken to volunteer a description though.

Zone 7 and the wind is driving me crazy! I'm glad there are no iris blooms
open for it to batter.
