I found a picture of Mysterious Monique somewhere on the internet (through
alltheweb.com) and I think it is GORGEOUS!
Thanks everyone, for your suggestions for these irises, even though they
aren't full siberians. I'll plant both of them in my perennial garden, with
plenty of compost, near the hose.
Thanks again.
Betty
