One of my greatest failings, when choosing which irises I MUST have, is looking closely at an individual flower, falling in love with it and then buying it. I have to remind myself that this little bloom may look muddy from 10 feet away or even almost disappear across the garden. Sometimes a plainer bloom, if the bloom is small, would be the best choice. It would help me when you grow clumps of irises, especially the little guys, to take photos of them from a distance and post on this site. Even a gorgeous multicolored tiny bloom can look like brown leaves from a short distance away. I cant say I would not purchase it but it would help me to know where to plant it or where it should rank on my wish list.
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?
