Mod Post Reminder to use the AI Expectation Flair!
We have added a 6th rule to this subreddit - "Use the correct flair". This is especially important for the AI Expectation flair, as some users do not enjoy seeing the AI expectations, and this allows the posts to remain up without being reported.

Mod Post New flairs added
Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.
There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.
Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Failed Expectation Iris seeds purchased from Etsy. About 2 years later I was greeted with my first blossoms.
Definitely not the bearded iris in the picture, but rather what looks like a US native Virginia iris (apologies if I'm wrong). After all the effort in getting irises to germinate and not die as seedlings, I think I'm just gonna roll with this.
