A neighbor who lived behind our house when I was a child in Wisconsin had a backyard with nothing but irises. He gave my mother a few purple & brownish yellows which she liked by noting like his garden full.
When whe were married & lived in CT., John saw an add for Ben Hager's garden & spoke the immortal words 'they have the little ones.' What little ones? It seemed that his grandmother grew dwarf irises. So off we ordered 'Green spot' & 'Bright eyes'. We have not looked back since.
