    I am not sure if this comment goes along with the photo I posted just now of Iris Blue Hat Boy. But i obtained this plant from a gardener in Vanderhoof BC, in 2015 and have grown to flower for one season, 2016. It blooms in very early May, and is only about 6 cm tall, compared to the other BHB descriptions so maybe it will get taller. Not sure how to add my name to the members who have this plant, but there is more than 1 now Smiling
