OK -- I took a bunch of pictures of Daughter of Stars. I got this Iris in 2012 -- it bloomed last year, and it was nice, but nothing spectacular. This year it is a totally different Iris. First of all, the blooms are huge -- they must be 6" across. Second, the color is deep and rich and wonderful. Third -- I love the striations on the fall petals. So I'm gonna post several pictures. Green Grin!
