You're doing better with your *brecks* iris than we did, Cindy.....Rita bought several (I think it was 8?)one of which was BS (that's Beverly Sills !)....shipped late, REALLY late, at least for northern Illinois....nice size, but drier than a ....it was really dry ! Took two seasons for it to bloom, and when it DID bloom.....it was all BS (that's NOT Beverly Sills !!) it was Fogbound !
So far my track record on Beverly Sills is pretty poor....1st bloomed "wrong" ,2nd (for postage) dried up, and never grew, 3rd (from an on line vendor) rotted out before it ever bloomed. 4th....well I don't know about THAT one yet, it's still "on order", so i'll let you know next year !
