Oh Brad, I agree with everyone's comments! Iris seen in clumps often diminishes the 'value' of a particular trait in that iris that we love most. Favorites are based on my iris preference but here I see Secret Recipe standing out due to its white outlines on the blooms. Keeps the booms from blending together from a little distance and as pale as Catwalk Queen is she seems to be floating among the iris leaves. Again, based on my personal preference but - They... Are... Awesome! I love seeing clumps from a distance as well as close-up. Some clumps call you from far away and you just have to investigate. All of your photos are beautiful.

4 degrees here this morning and dealing with some frozen water pipes. Cross your fingers that this will NOT be a major event.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
