Those are all really pretty. I love the curly texture on the them. The colors in the first and third iris are a mix of the colors in some old (probably heirloom) iris that I have. I'm waiting for them to bloom. So far only my short bearded purple ones (also heirlooms) have started blooming. MeMo

loved them. thank you iouone

Kay, I agree with Rita that some DL's really need to settle in before they show off their true potential. In my garden, I have noticed that some take A LOT more time to settle in than others too. I was ready to kick PRINCE OF MIDNIGHT out into the woods after four years of just kind of sitting there, and this year it was just amazing. Maybe it knew that it better perform or else....

@mamapinky0, P&G Commissioned a household study... where they gave participants (Chlorine) Cascade Gel, and (Enzyme) Cascade Action Pacs to use over two months. None of the participants, noticed a difference between the two formulas, although many did prefer the convenience of the Action Pacs. They also did a separate study, asking participants if they could tell the difference between Electrasol Dishwasher Gel & Chlorinated Cascade Gel. Cascade was preferred over 2 to 1. Many of the participants, just thought Cascade cleaned better... and left everything with less visible spotting. There's a really good reason Cascade Gel was the highest selling Dishwasher Detergent in this country (according to Nielsen Analytics)... until the ban on Phosphates. It worked, and it worked extremely well. The second highest selling dishwasher detergent, was a liquid gel (comparable to Cascade Gel) made by Huish/Sun Products. It contained the same amount of Phosphate, as Cascade... and I think the same chlorine content, just different thickening agents. I'm so glad.. you like the Gel. I was a little worried, it might not work as well, and the STPP could need some adjusting, but I think the 3/4 teaspoon is right on. And... I think it's a phenomenal product, when spiked ;)
