Re: TB - Info

I have bought Prissy Miss, Dover Beach, and Superstition (twice).
PRISSY MISS was very vigorous but did not bloom the first year. The 
second year it had many blooms, but I don't think it was PM. See the 
iris-photos for my fake 'Prissy Miss'. Two different rhizomes in the 
package; two different cultivars. Both were pink and very pretty.
Dover Beach turned out to be a short plicata. Also attractive, very 
tough, but no where near DOVER BEACH. With SUPERSTITION, it was 
correct the first time, and still growing. I bought another 2 years 
later. I 'felt sorry' for it on the shelf late in the season after it 
should have found a home. It turned out to be the most beautiful huge 
dark purple with a pale blue beard. Not SUPERSTITION, but I still 
like it.
Don't count on getting what you see from those packages. If you like 
surprises, you will like Mart Iris. If you are a 'purist' you may 
very well be disappointed.
