Garden History

Purchased from Gilbert H. Wild and Son for $11.75. They came beautifully packaged in pots with good root growth. Fed each with Bulbtone when planting.

First flower…only a month after I planted it. In my experience it usually it takes a year or two for irises to settle in.
Color described as “garnet-rose” (a rich, saturated, dark red). The photos on the sellers website made it look more rust than my photos which look more maroon (more muted, earthy red with chocolate tones).
