This is an unregistered iris. What you get if you purchase it may not be what you see. Be wary.
Please notice the difference in the iris Joy received and the one Paul received.

Pink Lady is not a registered Japanese Iris. There are apparently several different ones circulating in the nursery trade that are labeled Pink Lady. This is one I found here locally. I am trying Japanese Iris for the first time and will consider this a test plant. If It does well I will replace it with a nicer registered variety another year. It is pretty but looking at pictures of the modern Japanese Iris makes it seem rather plain.
