Polymerous said:You are lucky that the gophers haven't gotten any irises (or maybe it is the Molemax, whatever that is... I'll have to look it up). Some years ago, I had two large clumps of 'Arctic Express'. The gophers got all of one clump before I knew what was going on!
Re blue beards.. This year I got 'Bluebeard' , 'Emilo', and 'Blue Fin', and I saw my first blooms on 'Alien Mist' (thanks, Mary Ann!). Most of these were mentioned earlier in the thread. (Trying not to thread drift here. )

Polymerous said:Carol, Blue J Iris has 'Blue Fin' and 'Blackbeard'... that's where I got them from this past year. (I didn't look to see which of the others they might have.)

Blue Luster and
Blue Staccato (blue tip)
Ok, they are probably not dark enough, but they are blue.
