Ummm...Klondike bar,....almost lost my train of thought!

I'm glad Tom pointed out the difference in bloom times. A red that you want next to
a purple may bloom months apart! Also, would one have to leave a space next to the red one that
was planted in June, for the purple that arrives in August? Like "this garden space is reserved for...."
I do try to scatter the earlies, mids, and lates throughout. So something is always blooming in the area. I also
tend to view the irises as distinct individuals - I'll always be grateful for the joy my very very early-blooming
Coffee Shop gave me this past spring - after a long winter!
