By now you're probably getting the idea that purple is my favorite color....

I'll stop (for now) with a special iris that Nancy (nminmd) gave me last year. She sent me home with bags of rhizomes from some huge clumps of this iris when she decided she needed space for some other plants in her beds. I shared them with friends and family and planted a whole sweep of them across the back of my iris patch! It seems to take irises 2 or 3 years to settle in and bloom for me, so I was delighted when this one bloomed its first spring. Thanks, Nancy!
