Discovery!!! Rare Lavender Flower

We have great News!  Our Horticultural Consultant, Christian, pointed out that these Iris looked an awfully lot like tulips, caught in a recent monsoon.  So naturally we ran back up and took a more careful look, and -- Oh My, It is practically unbelievable! We have discovered,  and photographed, the rarest of all lavender blossoms!  Wily is an Irisulip!  How lucky can we be?  What a grand day!

See the mixed up leaves?  I do love a half and half!
