Re: CULT: CAT: Blyth irises

Jan

I'd agree that Who's your Daddy is prob from About Town (TDF),   I like the
colour,  the form is prob just a bad photo angle, I really like clarity of
colour in my irises. Glitterati looks murky to me. Barry does Yurky-murkys
so well, just not my taste.

Letr me know how things look after seeing the gardens
