Occasionally, DC has pollen here, but I have never gotten it to set anything.
Perhaps, it is just as well. How many really good irises has DC produced? I can
think of the Dykes from Down Under called TEMPTONE. It blooms earlier than DC,
has a nice flower, but it grows too fast for me, and those huge blooms cannot open
properly in a large clump. Maybe, I should divide it every year. It definitely will get
divided this year.
