I swapped an iris for Sea Power last year. I don't know when it will bloom but I am sure eager to see it here.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Beautiful every last one of them, blues and purples are my favorites, wish I had them all, unfortunately I am ruled by my checkbook

but Sea Power is at the very top of my list for this year.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They remind me of Louisiana iris.

I would have said Japanese. I don't grow any, but I can't say that I think they are "ugly", just that there are others I like a lot better....Arlyn

I have 'Flat Broke' and it has six falls. It is a lot like some of my newer LA's except it has a beard on all six falls. It is not may favorite form of iris but it is a lovely flower.
