Croft's Caress was the first Iris I ever had die... I was in shock and broken hearted at the same time. I got a bunch of small rhizomes at our club dig this year, and some teeny-tiny ones from my neighbor (who thinks I should collect every Ghio). I had about 5 or 6 from these die, but I'm doing my best to keep 'Tom Johnson' alive.. My neighbor also thinks I should have 'Dodger Blue', but my feelings are in sync with Rob on that one. I would have to murder it.
