In the fall of 2011 bulbs of Iris winogradowii finally came down in cost enough to be within my reach. I first learned about this plant from Anna Griffiths' book on rock garden plants published in the early 1960s, so I had been waiting for a half century to get my chance. I got six bulbs and they all bloomed in late winter 2012. There was no bloom in 2013, 2014 or 2015 - I don't remember seeing foliage either, although some must have been there. But one of the plants is blooming now: wow! Am I ever happy.
