Tom,

Funny that you mentioned Ballycastle. I thought I had lost it, as I do so many intermediates here. It was growing just behind another clump and looks like it has 2 little fans besides the stalk. I will move it after it blooms. Apparently it is not going to be vigorous here, but maybe I can see it bloom occasionally. As soon as it is light enough I have a few more pictures to take.

Sue, you will be happy to know that Imperative has the whole clump blooming this morning. It has made quite a large clump out there.

I used to be sad when my irises quit blooming, it is so hard to lose all that color. I love looking out the back door and seeing all my babies. But now that I grow daylilies also, my season is extended.

My doctor told me yesterday that he has a few irises, he is such a sweetheart, I told him I would dig him some and take them to the office. He was surprised to learn that I had named varieties. I will take him my favorite and most reliable ones.

For Sue, Imperative clump
