I'm an Iris fan too. Two years ago I moved my Irises from the hill they were
planted on (and were doing very poorly there) to a bed just outside the
breakfast nook. Most of the Iris have scapes and the show is just beginning.
One of my favorites, "Autograph" (very light blue almost white stds and falls
with a blue beard), has already started blooming. The weather is pretty cool
right now so if it holds the show will last a while longer than usual.
