No not "ever upward." Excelsior is what my newly arrived iris are packed in. Just received my order from Keith Keppel and I'm over the moon pleased.

Not only are the rhizomes gi-normous, he was exceedingly generous with the bonuses. In addition to Adriatic Waves (3) and Russian Violet (2), he threw in 2 Uptown Ladies and a Chenille! Woo Hoo!

PS: Renee, when you update your piece about blue iris, you might want to consider adding Uptown Lady, unless it turns out to lean more toward lavender than toward pale blue. Here's a link to a photo.
