I can hardly wait for the blooms to open on this iris each year. The colors are so refreshing. The yellow with splotches starting at the base of each petals sets off the violet. The middle petal is picking up the pink from the coleus. Be sure to not cut off the bloom stalk after the bloom fades. More blooms will be produced on it. Shown in April. (San Antonio, Tx.)
