OOH, I can see why!! It's every iris posted on here for me. Some a teensy bit more. If I'm scrolling down looking at the pix, most make me smile, some make my heart jump a bit

The 50 or so I've ordered this season made me love them enough to
write a check! (Just like the 400 or more in the past two years).
I'm resisting from now on! (this year, anyway)
But then, Tom's getting Chivalrous, and I adore that one!
The iris that made me love them is a very short deep purple that has moved with me and is still in my garden. I have no idea what it's name could be and do not have a picture of it, if I think of it when it blooms I will take a picture.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime plant a garden!
Faith is the postage stamp on our prayers!

I'm going to start resisting also but it will have to be after the two orders of irises come in and then the 2 orchids I have on my wish list and then the 3 rd peach tree and bananas that I want
Oh and the 2 passies I have ordered,

I love them, but have never heard them called passies. They grow well as container plants in NC. I used to have a couple. Been meaning to get some new ones.

Lucy and Leslie:::: I hope you are right! I have them both practically growing next to one another, although I think that perhaps "Frank Adams" is in between them. I am so counting on seeing them bloom this Spring. I just am so excited to see "Wabash" in bloom.
Mary Ann:::: I don't know Bright Hour - I'll have to look that one up and if I likes it, I'm gonna get it. HeeHee! Thanks for the recommendation !

Bright Hour and Wabash are so similar that many folks think they have one when they have the other. The difference between them? Wabash has PBF and Bright Hour does not.
They bloom at about same time.
They are about the same height.
