Re: Spring's Underway
Extensive enchantments and virgin sacrifice. And finding a virgin in 2021 is no mean feat, let me tell you that.
These are the dwarf 5" Siberian iris that blossom first in spring...https://www.brecks.com/product/Alida-Dw ... aEQAvD_BwE
Just as one example. I think I got mine from Brecks', but don't remember, and I have both the blue and purple.
They don't last long; they're already starting to wilt, but I cut a dozen or so to press for dried flowers. I do like them because they're one of the first to blossom in the gardens, simultaneously with the earliest crocus (I have several types).

Re: Spring's Underway
Thanks Morph....I never knew...mine have been in the ground for about 25 years. Of course I have performed surgery on them over the years and they are all around my mulch perimeter. They are pretty when they bloom but unfortunately only last a couple of days. I'm going to check on those dwarf variety.
