Aunt Lucy

Love this one, but it is hard to grow and a very slow increaser.

I love blue irises, especially the lighter toned ones, which are often closer to actually being blue than most of the darker ones. Whistling

A few years ago my friend and I went on a garden tour and one of the gardens only had blue iris all over the yard and on a hill behind the main garden. It was georgous! I wish I had my camera.
Love Aunt Lucy and all the others. Many more are going on my have to have list!
