the miserable gardener 
Yeegads! The Gods have spoken!
Cool, huh. I wonder if this doesn’t trace its pedigree back to an Archibald collection.
Magnificent. Grown from seed? If so, how long from seed to bloom?
No, purchased as a rhizome. In my experience, the oncocyclus iris take forever plus infinity to grow to flowering size from seed. I don’t have that much patience…..
