A couple of years ago I planted a bunch of "mystery bulbs" that I knew were Iris, but that was about it. Last year only a few actually bloomed and the ones that did were short and all a sort of maroonish color that, frankly, reminded me of dried blood.... But this year they've all grown much taller, and are blooming nicely. In the middle of them appeared this beauty. So bright and beautiful and such a pleasant surprise.
