I read Beverly Nichols description of his infatuation with this plant in about 1974 and I've wanted it ever since. It's a beautifulblue iris that flowers in the winter. Jim Dronenberg gave me this either four or five years ago, and this is the first time it's flowered. It sort of languished up till this spring. This season it produced a good sized clump of foliage. If I pay attention to it next year, it ought to be more than twice this big by next winter. I'm hoping that means more flowers
