Now I know why the subject line is 'CULT' - as I said before, pretty is
as pretty does <g>. I suspect I wouldn't much care for CELEBRATION SONG
if it didn't grow so well & bloom so reliably here. The colors do tend
to be pretty washed out.
Apologies for leading "name not withheld" astray to such an ugly iris
<g>
So many irises bloom here on stumpy little stalks with squashed blooms
(especially those with open standards)...too many ugly irises to name &
I know they can't possibly look that bad in their home turf. I ordered
FROSTING last year because several folks in our club have brought lovely
stalks to our show or rhizomes to our sale, so I thought it would do ok
here. It definitely wins the ugly iris award here this year - rumpled
little squashed blooms, about 9 on a stalk about a foot tall. Bleeah
