• TB 'Precious Moments' bloomed at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, zone 4b, approximately June 2-12, in 2017. There seems to be some extra yellow coloring, in the place where many other varieties show purple coloring on the spathes. Could this be a new characteristic to be noted on bearded irises? -- HollyJohnson2017-04-01 - 21 Sep 2017
