This is one of the oldest in my garden going back to 2008. I have two - one sits next to Elegans and the other sits in my Striptease sport garden but DQ is not a Striptease sport.
The one with the Striptease family is a lot bigger.
Here are some photos from 2012 season.
Here is the big one:

Noticed mine is bluer than others posted (pic June 20, 2011), planted in 2008.

Ed and Paul, lovely Dream Queens there. Mine is one year older (planted in 2007) than Ed's larger one but it gets a lot of competition for nutrients from the spruce it's planted under.

I think one of my Dream Queen is really Great Expectations. The center is really wide this season.

That does look more like a GE than DQ to me too. My DQ has the much greater blue border but ater 3 years is still only one eye. Amazed it's lasted this long to be honest. My GE ghas gone from 2 eyes to 6 this year !!!!!!!!!!
