thank you, leslie. 'noyb' caught my eye, i thought it might be a color echo for 'sorbet swirl', or help transition color that's similar to 'baby duck' somewhere in my garden. however, 'bd' has not bloomed for me, and since placing 'ss' in the ground, it's been snail riddled (probably because it blooms so early and i'm not thinking of sprinkling sluggo out amongst the irises. but i am going to be more vigilant next february! (it's usually raining that time of the yr.)
