Dorothy Devenport? |
Have Trade as root Enough to trade Tall Bearded Iris These irises have become my favorites |
Received as Vanity in 2018. Bloomed in 2019 (not Vanity). Bloomed better in 2020. Definitely not Vanity in either form or color. Tom suggested this may be Dorothy Devenport. The form, color, and bloomtime are right for that. Might also be her child, American Goddess, however that one is said to bloom mid to late, so not as likely. It's the first to bloom in my garden. Bloomed more profusely in 2021. Simply beautiful. First bloom on 5/14/2022. 10/2022 gave start to dear son. KatsI2 and GreenIris (Elsa) both want some of this when I have enough. GreenIris has Sky and Sun for trade. |

Lemon Chess? iris |
Have These irises have become my favorites Tall Bearded Iris |
This was a mislabled plant sent from a certain vendor. After seeing it bloom and comparing it with the yellows offered by that vendor, I think it is probably Lemon Chess. Did not bloom in 2020. Bloomed 2021 with improved form. Photo shown for it here is my own, not linked to the database due to uncertainty. This light yellow blends well with others and has lovely form. Keep. | |
