they say that the reddish purple miniature iris j.s. dijt is one of the last of the miniature iris to bloom. but this little j.s. dijt, which came to my garden after being mistakenly tossed into a 50-strong mail-order bag of its much truer and bluer cousins, comes up faithfully each year at the same time as my iris reticulata pixies and crocus snow bunting, which are both said to be early bloomers. tell me, are there any other heroic stories of loner garden bulbs who reject their genetic shackles and instead bloom with their friends? this picture was taken today in the boulder foothills, february 18th, 2009.
