My Gizmo will be blooming within the next couple of days so I can add to the comparison. I got mine from Suzanne.

So did I, Leslie.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Remember Standard dwarfs are medians. MDB are not.

Here is a photo of it from last year.

Dave finally sent some pictures. Unfortunately, he sent reduced files , and the quality isn't very good...

But, 'Nosferatu' is open! I don't have my list of who shared that one with me...but thank-you! Stand up and take a bow please.

Here's Mary Ann's photo of it:

Barbara, I love the ones you posted..

Yesterday I had 5 stalks on Art School. That's one amazing Iris. Very fertile too. Last year was the first time it bloomed for me and there were 3 bee pods on it.

My Art School is still in a pot, but it is growing really well. No 5 stalks, but...

I do have stalks on Stolen Identity. Extremely early. Must be in a hurry to be the first TB to bloom.

Same here. My Art School was planted very late, got it as a bonus from the Sisters late Fall sale. I planted it in the ground, not potted.

That is a pretty one!

I really need to figure out this whole crossing thing. If I ever have enough time I sure would love to cross a few of my little guys.
