Michael, Brad sent me All About Spring 2 years ago. It's been really slow to take off, but I'm hoping it gained enough last summer to maybe bloom this year. It's one I like a lot. Your clump/garden shots are great!

This a photo of Petticoat Shuffle. It was a gift start and was absolutely amazed at how stunning it is in the garden with the blue and lavender edges.

Abiqua Falls is simply one of those blues you have to see in person to appreciate. It and Absolute treasure are both great Iris but Abiqua Falls is a bit darker.

Absolute Treasure is a great iris, but too tall for me. I really don't like a stem over 36" tall. But for form & color, it can't be beat.

Yes It is a slow increaser and I had to wait 2 years for it to bloom and have heard from growers it likes to pout a bit but it bloomed this year and is now increasing nicely so be patient with it. It will be increasingly hard to find.
