Nice pics of those you didn't want Tom!

Sherry's comment about Venita Faye reminds me. It acted up, then slowly died even though I tried and tried to rescue increases. I won't be getting her again.

One that I lost before bloom was Kid's Clothes, which was surprising because Burseens do well for me, and Tom's iris grow really well for me. So Tom - if you ever get another increase I would like to try again...... Whistling

And then there is this one:


The oh so pretty Secret Rites. It had a rot issue, but I was able to save it. I have increases planted in a couple of places. Going into it's 4th year and it has never ever bloomed!! Grumbling
I sent some to Greg to see if it liked PA better, and the rest will be out the door if there are no blooms this spring.
