    Another light blue iris, ho hum, right? NOT! This iris is HUGE, and it is really the blue of a slightly hazy sky. It has grown like gangbusters for me too. Did I say it was also deliciously ruffly, with great substance? When it bloomed this year for the first time, it literally made me gasp when I walked out in the garden in the morning.
