heres a pic of the buds on the 10 fan clump i recieved from her that hadnt yet opened yet like most of hers have; where you can see this purpley pink patina/colouring on the buds and stalk quite abit..its pretty kool, cuz if you didnt know these irisis where a bi-tone purple blue you would think from the buds theyd be pink/purple. Also heres the link for the 18inch tall wild iris germanica http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/189284/ the 36 inch variety can be viewed and purchased at blue-j iris in nebraska on their website under letter i, but they are currently sold out...and heres a neat link of info and pics for 'Faustine' at http://www.hips-roots.com/photos/faustine1-dta.html
