I don't even try anymore because I just get sad when what I thought I was getting turns out to be something totally different and something I would have never picked. And also ordering directly from the vendor also provides you such healthier plants (well that's my opinion).

It is especially upsetting to find out it is a wrong plant after 2-3 years of growing it. Bought Starship Enterprise from Springhill Nursery 3 years ago. It bloomed this spring and it was NOT SE.

My tallest irises are Italian Ice and Crystal Pattern. They are 40"+. My favorite light blue iris is Sea Swells. Though it is a very slow increaser, it does bloom well.
