It's a neat iris. I'd love to grow it in my yard, but believe it would need a fair bit of supplemental water in this climate. Watering is something I'm just not willing to do much of.
Kent - did you read Chad's Pot Culture blurb on his website? You could grow it in a pot! Which is what I am seriously considering doing. And he says he used Miracle Grow potting mix! That sounds like iris for dummies, but hey, if it works!

Neither. I just take a LOT of pictures and a small percentage turn OK. Digital photography is one of the best things to have come along in the last 20 years.
