The spurias are well under way here. Standouts so far are 'Betty
Cooper' with violet-blue standards and yellow falls with fine violet
veining, and the incredibly rich color of 'Sultan's Sash', a
yellow-ground with deep yet somehow brilliant red-brown veining that
becomes a solid color at the edges of the falls. Looking forward to
seeing 'Countess Zeppelin' and 'Royal Cadet' in the next day or two.
You're missing something important in irises if you don't grow some spurias.

"I ordinarily plod along a sort of whitewashed prison entry, subject
to some indifferent or even grovelling mood. I do not distinctly
realize my destiny. I have turned down my light to the merest
glimmer and am doing some task which I have set myself. I take
incredibly narrow views, live on the limits, and have no recollection
of absolute truth. Mushroom institutions hedge me in. But suddenly,
in some fortunate moment the voice of eternal wisdom reaches me, even
in the strain of the sparrow, and liberates me, whets and clarifies
my senses, makes me a competent witness."
--Henry David Thoreau, Journals, March 28, 1857.
