Thanks. We had that one and thought it died. It's probably the one.

All excited for nothing.

Sure is a cute one.

Yes it is. It has four bloom stalks on it right now about 12" tall. I changed the height.

I have that on order from Superstition this year. I really like Rick's dwarfs.

This one turned out to be another NO ID, but from description could be Peep Show

Glad we can't smell the lilacs as I am allergic to the pollen--at least the common purple ones. Not sure about some of the hybrids.

My dwarfs are done but I have some still to post. Wasn't sure this one would be seen this year, but it had a real growth spurt. Hurray!

I thought so too Mary Ann. It sells out quickly so I am really happy that Dee had it in her sale last year!

I don't think my first pics of Little Stitches did it full justice. Fortunately after a lag, it bloomed again. I did notice that the later blooms had a lot more purple stitching on the falls than the early blooms.

I ordered My Cher twice last year and did not get it. I did get lovely substitutes. Shrug!

I got some great bonus/substitute little ones this year. I also got a lot of really nice ones tucked into those postage boxes!!

And here is one of them - Cosmos. It bloomed late, and only had a couple blooms.

This was my very last one to bloom - two months after my first dwarf bloomed.

I was given this one as a bonus from Iris Sisters even though I don't think they carry it. I think this is a great little iris and how could anyone not love the beards on this one???!!!!! Hurray!
