    Time Zone has been a great performer in my garden. It blooms reliably and for a long time, so it must also have a good number of blooms per scape, though I haven't taken notes. It's not the most exotic iris out there, but if you're looking for a pretty iris in a medium blue violet that performs well, this is it!
