I've told you before that Aunt Lina had lots of irises and lilies. I have quite a few that I dug from her gardens and I love them. I will say, however, that there is no comparison to the new hybrids as far as color and form. The ones above prove that point. Darkest Night, Swingtown, Midnight Madness, and Edith Wolford are a few of my favorites. I can finally see the results of hours of planting, planning, digging and weeding. My iris bed was a truly spectacular sight this year. I felt huge gratification. But really Aunt Lina started the love of iris for me. And although hers aren't the biggest or the brightest they remind me of her and fill my heart with love.
