Most of my bearded irises are newer, and I like the big clumps. Anyone got pictures for me? Thanks!

I got Brevity last summer, hope it blooms this spring. It's a cutie, and I can blame Paul's nice pictures for my weakness.

When we get big clumps, it is iris sale time at our club, so the clumps go back down.

Wonderful photos! When I judge which irises to buy, I try to find clump shots for reference. I find they help me more as I see how flowers look against foliage and background; how the light strikes it - source, ambient and reflected; how it stands; etc. A lot of people have irises here, but usually only one or two cultivars. I do the same with peonies. I guess I'm saying: please post more! Hurray!
