It is pretty. I like the light beards on it too.
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?

Wow, Tom. You have a lot of beautiful small irises! I'm not getting a lot of bloom yet from the
8 or 10 that I have - the tb's are doing much better. But this is the first year for most of them.
I got a Cat's Eye bloom from the ones you sent me though.

The pumila seedlings are finally starting. In last year's log May 17 was the day when SDBs all poped open.

Number 41 is Special Love, another import from Arkansas. I don't know if it's always flat like this or if it's been affected by the weather. Either way, it's very interesting.
