love your company liz, 'specially in their jackets.
i went out to measure 'saxon' today, and i have a question. typically when iris are grown in pots and if they bloom for the first time are they substantially shorter than the description on the atp database? because my irises measured only 19" (from the dirt to the top of the standards); the db says they should be 34" tall. 15 inches shorter?
the db didn't describe a smell, which they definitely have. it is a pleasant a sweet citrusy note without being too cloying. i am enjoying its fragrance.
the flowers are about 6" from fall tip to fall tip, and 4 1/2 " from standard to base. not sure if i am supposed to measure to below the green swollen part where the flower head meets the stalk? need help?! thx.
