thank you andrea and monty, for the compliments.
i blame andrea, for my order of 'midnight blues'.
her post of 'mb' was so wonderful, i had to get it, too. so far, it's been the best performer in my garden; that struggles to make daughters. most of my other clumps in the ground make two (and if i'm lucky) or three rhizomes for the next year.

sorry for my confusion, it's navy blues ( hehe ) my mistake, combining two irises blooming at the same time.
