I am looking for 3 bearded iris perhaps in bi colors , large blocky ruffled flowers with strong stems that stand erect ... I do not want to stake the iris stems. I do not like tan or the muted colors.. I looked at Above the Clouds, High Master, Double Bubbles, Featured attraction, Astro Blue , Final Decision, love the azure blues and bi tones.. Color me blue, I need 3 showstoppers.. I have noticed that the photos on the sellers sites do not seem to be nearly as pretty and colorful in members gardens..in reality.. and I have looked at many that are 40 inches that are just huge 6 by 4 blooms ruffled but won't they all have to be staked usually? So that leaves me in the 36 inch range in height needed, right? I am not lazy I have been online for weeks and have looked and looked. I would appreciate your help those of you who love the showstoppers and love strong stems and like to just gaze at their beauty. It is raining today and I went out with love and put a beach umbrella over my showstopping Rare treat group of iris in bloom! LOL Thank you , Sheri lower zone 8 Alabama |
