Hi All
I have had this iris for 20-ish years. After I posted a pic of it on my local gardening FB page, I got all kinds of questions about it. The one question I couldn't answer is: what is it's name. No idea what so ever, it was given to me, with name unknown, many moons ago. So, if any of you savvy TBI enthusiasts can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
A couple of things to look for in Alcazar.. There is a fine, wire edge on the standards, which yours has.. the pattern of the lines around the beards often tends to go down the edges of the falls about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way down..
The last picture that Evelyn posted is has way too much pink/red.. It will show more red/purple in different light, but to my eye, it's purple falls, with lavender top. It's among the early bloomers in my garden.
Evelyn got the correct ID, I believe of Alcazar.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Name: LOUISE LARSON N Santa Barbara Co, Central Co (Zone 9b)
I have this one in my garden that is identified as Heritage 1910. I'm wondering if it is that rather than Alcazar? Or is that "Heritage 1910" a reference to the development of Alcazar?
