And here is one of my favorite little irises

Since I first bought this little iris it has had a difficult life. In 2005 a huge truck parked its wheels on it and turned them just grinding the clump down to a few broken rhizomes. It took two years before I got one bloom. Since then it has twice suffered some form of rot and I have had to do a sever cut back to save it. This year it seems to be growing nicely. The blooms are paler than normal but after all it has been through I am very glad to see it blooming. One thing I can say about this little iris is if it grows for you, you will get a springtime bloom faithfully.
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?
