-- Main.RPries - 2011-03-07 This is our miracle iris. Four years ago I spotted it in a weedy, unwatered, unmowd field and tried to get a rhizome. I didn't have a digging tool and only managed to get about two inches. It never did anything. Just disappeared, Never even showed any green. Then we brought in six inches of new dirt and some decorative basalt rocks. Never even thinking or remembering that anything was there. This year it came up and bloomed beautifully. Literally with a big rock on top of it. I had twelve blooms on it. They were all perfect and long lasting. -- WikiGuest - 12 Jun 2022
