Isn't that the truth, Tom? It's always the good ones -- or at least, the ones most important to us. I have lost Swazi Princess too. The rhizome that I planted in a pot and brought into the house, has also died. Totally don't understand this one -- this Iris has survived everything thrown at it for almost forty years, including a move from Chicago to Kentucky when it lived in a box for a month and was planted in November!!
So if I gave anyone here a Swazi Princess rhizome last year when I thinned and replanted that Iris -- if it does well for you and you have increases in the future, please remember to share back a rhizome with me. I could probably find it to re-purchase, but there's a sentimental reason for wanting *that* particular Swazi Princess. Not her, of course, but one of her daughters.
Brad -- thanks for all that information regarding Arthouse -- I feel better now.
The location was a great one -- lots of sun, excellent drainage -- all the Irises that I planted in that area are thriving. Maybe I just got a weak rhizome -- that's got to happen once in awhile, don't you think? Anyway -- thanks for your kind offer!
