Name: Niki Bend, Oregon (Zone 6a) Flowers are food for the soul.
It took two years for a bloom from an Iris I bought at a nursery to not be 'Savannah Sunset', it is one of 'Starship Enterprise's abundant offspring. There was nothing to be done by then. The vendors are more trustworthy.
"The Earth laughs in flowers."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
