Yes -- but what I don't understand about blooms like that is -- will every flower on the bloom stalk be the same? Will that rhizome produce that bloom stalk every time? Or is that just an aberration of that bloom that time? I've had a couple of plants produce odd blooms this year -- Crystal Gazer (a young plant for me) produced one stalk of beautiful correct blooms, and another stalk that was totally different -- produced white flowers with little ruffling and only a dab of blue at the center of the bloom. These are two different rhizomes off the same mother rhizome that I planted last year. I've only ever seen this once or twice before in my life -- I guess I've been lucky, all of my Irises bloom true to what they should be. So this is confusing to me.

Yeah -- that *Blue Reflections* blooms like mad for me, and increases the same way! Thumbs up Want some?
